When you get it wrong

Repair within twenty-four hours.

  1. OwnName what you did, without “but.”

    I have been thinking about what happened, and I do not like how I showed up.

  2. AskOne question, then silence.

    What was that like for you?

  3. InviteName the change.

    Next time, I am going to slow down before I respond.

Use your own words. Keep the sequence.

If you are asking permission first: “Is now a good time for a two-minute conversation?”
