1. Observation without Judgment: Learn to observe situations without passing judgment or evaluation. Describe observations objectively to prevent assumptions or biases from influencing communication.

3. Identifying Needs: Recognize personal needs underlying emotions. Acknowledge and communicate these needs to others, fostering understanding and collaboration.

4. Requesting, Not Demanding: Learn to make requests rather than demands. Formulate requests that are clear, specific, and free from coercion, allowing others the freedom to choose.

5. Empathetic Listening: Practice active and empathetic listening by focusing on understanding others' feelings and needs. Validate their emotions without judgment or interruption.
