GIVE Practice

Apply GIVE in real conversations

What you'll do

Practice GIVE in daily conversations by consciously validating emotions, then send a thoughtful check-in to someone close to you. Notice how these approaches affect your connections.

In three different conversations today, consciously validate the other person's emotions or perspective. Record what you said and how they responded.

Validation #1 — what did you say?

How did they respond?

Validation #2 — what did you say?

How did they respond?

Validation #3 — what did you say?

How did they respond?
