Once you've decided to say something, how do you say it? Twelve ways to interact once you've stepped in — from saying nothing at all to a direct instruction. Select one to see how it sounds.

Twelve ways to interact

Pick an interaction

Twelve interactions. Observe and Silence work with anyone, anytime — the rest pair loosely with specific moments in a session. Select one to see how it actually sounds out loud.

How to use it

Select an interaction: on the ring, or from the list on a phone.
Read what it is at the top, then the card for how it sounds and which stoppage types pair with it.
Clear the selection and try another.

Where it comes from

This is the version of a common coaching-interaction idea that I use. It is not a new method.

The thinking, sources and caveats are in How Much Should You Actually Say?.
