Quote: Our emotions are not a function of what others say or do but of the stories we tell ourselves.

Quote: The first thing that deteriorates is not our behavior but our intent.

Quote: If you don’t talk it out, you will act it out.

Quote: The way we initiate a conversation will determine how others reciprocate.

Quote: The sooner we notice the signs that people aren’t in dialogue, the earlier we can take action to return to dialogue.

Quote: A compromise reached too soon will short-circuit dialogue.

Quote: Creating safety isn’t just something you do in a conversation, it’s something you do through your behavior over time.

Quote: Your ability to truly listen is largely determined by your motive.

Quote: it's not the other person telling you their thoughts that builds relationship it's them watching you listen

Quote: Feedback from others, while valuable, does not define our self-worth.
