A classic always delivers.
Today, I’m bringing back
one of my tips with a refresh.
Got a Hot Button?
We all do.
It’s those phrases
that tend to trigger us.
Examples:
“Calm down.”
“Stop being so emotional.”
“No.”
Do you feel your blood boiling
just reading those?
Here’s the fix:
When you hear THAT phrase, pause & take a deep breath.
Focus on the message BEHIND the words.
Respond to the content, not the trigger.
Hot buttons = Past triggers.
Cooling them = Better conversations.
