A QUICK TUNE-UP: THE FAST VERSION

I’m originally from New York, so I don’t really “get” Nascar. Especially on TV. I don’t see the fun in watching cars making left turns around a track for hours. To me, the only interesting part of watching a race is getting to see the cars make pit stops. Pit crews are amazing. I have always been fascinated with how fast they can whip around the car, make the necessary tire changes and tune-ups, and then send the driver back out to finish the race. It is a well-oiled machine—pun intended!

You can be the pit crew of fact-checking. When someone else is struggling with a challenge, help the person to get a quick tune-up in thinking so that he or she can get back out on the road to success. If the person is feeling stressed out or sad, walk him or her through this two-minute strategy: Coax the person to tell you what is going on from his or her perspective. Focus on the facts, with as little emotion as possible, to avoid clouding the assessment. Once there is a fact-based assessment of the situation, work together to add, subtract, or reverse a single fact in his or her story.

Short examples for the three tactics are provided below.
