Nonviolent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg is a 4 part communication framework that can transform relationships when put to use.
Here it is:
Power Acronym 37: O.F.N.R.
Observations
OBSERVE behaviors that affect your well-being without judgment.
Feelings
State how you FEEL about your observations.
Needs
State the internal NEEDS that create your feelings.
Requests
Make a REQUEST with concrete actions that will enrich your life.
This is also a transformational way to listen to others.
I highly recommend this Philosopher’s Note if you’d like to take a deeper dive in these concepts!
