Day 9

Empathic Speaking Skill, Step 2

“Today I will express with respect. I will choose my words well and be aware of my tone of voice. I will be sensitive to the heart of the person I am speaking to.

I will focus on them, their feelings, their receptivity.

Whatever the topic—whether a pleasant one or not—I will be honest and straightforward but speak to them respectfully and with care.

I will have this heart and attitude today!”
