The three yeses (3 Yes Rule)

The three yeses, from Kamal Sarma’s WinWin Conversations framework: when a talk runs hot, get three honest yeses before anyone tries to fix anything.

Last updated October 21, 2026

When a conversation is heated, solutions bounce off. Kamal Sarma’s WinWin Conversations framework starts somewhere smaller: simple questions your partner can honestly answer yes to, asked before anyone argues a point.

Each yes lowers the heat and puts you on the same team. When it runs hot, Tara slows the room and gets three yeses before anyone tries to fix anything. For the questions themselves and why they come in that order, read Kamal’s book, The Art of WinWin Conversations.
