• To be both assertive and empathic, use techniques like the “positive no” or the “soft startup” when setting a boundary.

• When managing conflicts or difficult communication, remember to use open-ended questions; focus on strengths; let the other person lead; normalize rather than pathologize; and use open, conciliatory body language to show that you are on the same side.
