Intentional Actions

I4 framework

4 actions to help with challenging conversations

1.  I hear

Use the specific words I hear you when engaging with your loved ones. Everyone desires to be heard.

2. Intention

In important conversations, think and explicitly state your intentions; this will help avoid confusion.

3. I contact

Such a simple yet immensely powerful tool. Looking deeply into someone's eyes is a mark of trust.

4. I smile

Smile not just with your mouth but with your eyes too; this will demonstrate your openness and non-judgement.
