Guidelines for the Listener and the Speaker

As the Listener:

• Give the speaker your full attention.

• Step into the speaker’s shoes and feel what they are feeling.

• Avoid judging or interpreting.

• Reflect back as accurately as you can what you heard them say.

• When you think the speaker is done, ask, “Is there more?”

• When the speaker is done, ask, “Of everything you have shared, what is the most important thing you want me to remember?”

As the Speaker:

• Speak in the “I.”

• Keep your statements brief.

• Stop to let the listener paraphrase.

• Include your feelings. (For a list of feeling words, see Appendix C, page 171.)

• Be honest, clear, and respectful.

• It is critically important to help people distinguish a thought from a feeling.
