- Choose somewhere neutral and safe
- Make sure you have time to sit down quietly together with plenty of time to talk
- Try not to over-script or sound too formal or give too much information at once
- Try to be calm and be non-confrontational
- Remember that this might be the first time they have thought of you this way
- Their first reaction might not be how they actually feel
- Remember that it probably took time for you to come to terms with it
- If the person you want to tell is stressed or tired it may be a good idea to delay
- Remember to also listen to what others have to say
- Give people a chance to think, and process and have time to get used to it
