Great story here. I bet that was a heartbreaker.

Honestly, to me it looks like the partner was trying to keep their frame intact and did not realize the frame had shifted. I see that a lot when a presentation becomes a bit too rehearsed and starts going well. When the room changes, the presenter stays locked into the original sequence.

Yes, it’s the kind of scene where the presenter stays in ‘pitch mode’ and doesn’t adapt to the real people in front of them!

I like the idea of framing in real time.

Absolutely, though it’s unfortunately easier said than done - especially in a high-stakes conversation…!
