  Secrets of effective communication
  
  The Five Secrets of Effective Communication
  
  1. The Disarming Technique: You find some truth in what the other person is saying, even if it seems totally unreasonable or unfair.
  
  2. Empathy: You put yourself in the other person’s shoes and try to see the world through his or her eyes. Thought empathy: You paraphrase the other person’s words.
  Feeling empathy: You acknowledge how he or she is probably feeling.
  
  3. Inquiry: You ask gentle, but open-ended questions to learn more about what the other person is thinking and feeling.
  
  4. “I” Statements: You use “I” statements (such as “I feel upset”) rather than “you” statements (such as “You’re wrong!” or “You make me so angry.”).
  
  5. Stroking: You find something genuinely positive to say to the other person, even in the heat of an argument. You have an attitude of respect, even though you may feel hurt, upset or angry.
