The basic supportive confrontation message requires that you (1) describe the behavior, (2) explain the impact, and (3) state the desired change. However, you may want to also include other elements, such as show empathy, state a consequence, and check for understanding, because

c. every situation requiring direct confrontation also requires that you have empathy for the other person and his or her behavior.
d. the recipient of the message will not see the point of changing his or her behavior unless you state an adverse consequence for noncompliance.
