14. TO TEAMWORK. TO TRUST. TO JOY. TO LOVE AND HONOR.
Mirroring
HOW TO TALK TO ANYONE
● The foundation of all good communication and empathy.
● Match another person’s verbal or nonverbal communication.
○ Mimicking posture or body language.

○ Adopt similar facial expressions.
I see you. I understand. We’re on the same page.

15. TO TEAMWORK. TO TRUST. TO JOY. TO LOVE AND HONOR.
The Rule of Three
HOW TO TALK TO ANYONE
● Conversations exist in three parts.
○ Declaratives (facts or opinions being stated as facts).
○ Questions.
○ Qualifiers or “softeners”.
● The rule of three states that we should never say three declaratives in a row
without breaking them up with a question or qualifier.
This allows us to talk with people and not at them or to them.
(King, 2022)
