Principles of communication allow us to: 
  • Know what we feel, without confusing it with what we think.
  • Understand what we value, and why that value is driving our feelings and responses.
  • Determine what we need in a situation. Know how to invite others to meet that need.  (This is very different from blaming others for not meeting our needs.)  
  • Know how to make sure both of you are "on the same page" and truly talking about the same thing, seeking the same goal. ​
  • Avoid words that will dis-connect us from the “heart of the matter”.
  • Be fully present in the situation without being overwhelmed, or worrying.

    ​​Principles help us speak and act with clarity and honesty. Others can trust that we are able to connect with empathy and concern, and that increases mutual understanding.
