Relationship Skills
Communicating clearly, repairing quickly, and giving without emptying out.
When this skill is strong
- You can disagree and still keep the conversation respectful.
- You repair soon after something lands badly.
- You ask for what you need without blaming anyone.
Signs it is asking for attention
- Hard conversations wait until the tension is large.
- You overgive or fix everyone, then feel resentful or drained.
- Working in a team gets hard when preferences differ.
Practices to try this week
- Make one clear ask: need + reason + timing.
- Repair within 24 hours: say what happened, how it landed, and what you will try next time.
- Before you say yes, ask yourself: 'Am I giving this freely, or out of fear of letting someone down?'
