How I Approach Every Conversation

  • Every situation is different.
  • Therefore I do not believe in offering ready-made solutions.
  • Instead, I usually follow a thoughtful process.
  • Listen patiently.
  • Understand the complete situation.
  • Separate facts from assumptions.
  • Recognise emotions without allowing emotions to replace facts.
  • Explore possible root causes.
  • Consider different options.
  • Discuss possible consequences.
  • Encourage independent decision-making.
  • Reflect and continue learning.
  • My purpose is not to become someone’s permanent adviser.
  • My purpose is to help people become increasingly capable of thinking independently.
