We respect the person speaking by giving them our full attention. No cross-talk or side conversations—everyone deserves to be heard without interruption.

We start from a place of trust. Even if a comment is phrased awkwardly, we assume the person is coming from a good place. If something stings, we ask for clarification before reacting.

Often we listen just to find an opening for our own point. Here, we listen to truly grasp the speaker's lived experience, feelings, or fears.

What is said here stays here (confidentiality), but what is learned here leaves here (growth). We create a safe environment for vulnerability and a brave environment for difficult but necessary conversations.

Speak from your own experience ("I feel," "I noticed") rather than making generalizations about groups of people or how "everyone" feels.
