ADVICE

Use Small Practices To Become Present

  • Practise short grounding exercises (breath, anchor image) to become present before or during talks.
  • Use what works for you rather than chasing a guru ideal; presence is a practiced state.
ADVICE

Ask With Genuine Curiosity

  • Stay genuinely curious and assume you don't already understand the other's perspective.
  • Curiosity helps humanise opponents and can reduce attitude extremity over time.
INSIGHT

Avoid Immediate 'Me Too' Responses

  • Sharing a similar experience too early can overshadow the speaker and reduce the quality of empathy.
  • Hold back your story until the speaker feels fully heard.
