The Skillful Podcast

Once you have grasp of the DEAR MAN skill, you might find yourself getting stuck when you try to use it in difficult interactions. Maybe the other person pushes back, tries to change the subject, or refuses to engage fairly.

While we can’t force anyone to do anything, we can continue to use our skills to stay as effective as possible during heated moments.
