Within you are parts — critic, scared, child. Meet them one by one.

Beneath noisy parts is a calm curious compassionate "Self" — meet it.

Ask 3 who know you to tell you "who you are in their eyes" — discover forgotten self.

Draw self as symbol/animal/scene — discover self unconsciously.

When receiving triggering feedback, pause 6 seconds, then ask "tell me more".

Each month, write 3 behaviors to start, 3 to stop, 3 to continue.

Repeat the last three words your speaker said with curious tone; they will continue deeper without you asking.

After every answer, ask follow-up — doubles social liking 2x.

When acts oddly, ask "why did he do that?" with curiosity not critique.

When triggered, ask self: "what unmet human need?".

Open with "I'm curious about X in your field" — dry chat turns into expertise exchange.

A magic question to thaw cold collegiality: "Tell me about [event/food/custom] in your culture".

Replace investigative "why?" questions with the invitation "tell me more" to open the story.

Swap "you're bad at math" with "what's happening here?" — Boaler proves the math brain is built, not born.

Each month's start, search your name on Google and review the first 3 result pages.
