The 10 steps on this poster
- Self-Awareness – Notice your emotions as they rise. Give each one a name.
- Pause First – Take one breath between the feeling and your response.
- Name the Need – Behind every feeling is a need. Rest, respect, clarity, connection.
- Listen Fully – Don't plan your reply while the other person is talking.
- Show Empathy – Try "That sounds really hard." Acknowledge first, fix second.
- Read the Room – Watch tone, body language and mood before you speak.
- Know Your Triggers – Learn what sets you off and plan your response ahead of time.
- Use "I" Statements – Say "I feel ___ when ___" instead of blaming.
- Give Kind Feedback – Be specific, honest and kind. Focus on the behavior, not the person.
- Repair Fast – If you mess up, apologize and make it right.
