-
Show up with a sense of responsibility and take potential risk (courage to get involved beyond one’s own vulnerability and fear).
-
Be proactive to overcome the crises (meeting the needs of the other, without giving up on yourself and what your conscience says).
-
Express your own motivations (the reason behind a specific behaviour), your own intentions, your own needs through dialogue.
-
Put the other at ease, to ensure that they can freely say what they think and the way they feel (free from judgment, but with acceptance).
-
Always be yourself without masks and calculated strategies.
-
Don’t let your own fear and anxiety handle your life. Fear and anxiety lead to wrong behaviour and wrong decisions (poor lucidity and lack of balance).
-
Don’t feed anger with grudge, resentment, hatred and projection of your own grey areas and your own life experience on the other.
-
Feed and nourish the relationship, never taking anything for granted.
-
Say three key words (Pope Francis): can I?, thank you, I’m sorry.
