influenced the behavious

do they feel safe? safe climate
how do you make them feel safe?
show respect
establish a shared purpose
what would make somebody unsafe?
lack of respect: tone, delivery, body language
disregard for the person’s goals and address: they neae to be address.
respect - how you view other.
how you view them, is often how you treat them.
ask permision to discuss an issue - when addressing a sensitive issue
contrasting tactique: anticipate any wrong colncusion that migh arise AND reasure this is not waht you mean, but youwnat to address somethig specific.
Establish a common purpose - important
when can you address the issues?
only after mutal repsct and common golad have been set up
what are the steps?
- lead with FACTs, not accusations or conclusions
- explain the gap (what you expected; what actually happened)
- use careful language: i thought , I was wondering.. - end with a question - as it creates a dialogue which helps to solve the problem together.

- outcomes aligned with people’s values
- future problems connected to their current behavious
- how other people are affected.
Ask their opinion - ask them to share their views - listen to them
anoher way to morivate a change in behaviour ?
create a wokr around for the problem and explaine it to the person. Sharing your coping strategy makes the other person aware of the cause and effect associted to their problem.

- establish safety
explain the natural consequences
explore potential barriers and solutions)
retunr to the original prblem.
