This week we are revisiting a popular episode from 2021 on concepts to choose to react or respond.
Consider the following :
A reaction is about the moment whereas a response is about the outcome.
Understanding how my emotions drive my decisions will improve relationships, productivity, and possibilities.
Tips from Trish
Mirroring:
- Starts with listening CAREFULLY to the other person.
- Or if you’re the first to speak, as a “learning” question to warm them up.
- “It’s obvious you’re upset. Can you tell me what’s wrong?”
- If they become angry or hostile, we can schedule a later time to talk.
- If they offer a calm response, we can take a slow deep breath and say,
- “Let me see if I’ve got that… you are angry because…” and then we ask “is there more?” They may have more, may not. We summarize and ask “have I got that right?”
BETTER LISTENING is really at the core with this example of reacting and responding in a way that can more successfully manage or control our emotions in the moment.
