Practice ladder
-
1
Start small
Practice Advanced Accountability Lines once in a low-stakes moment where the cost of being awkward is small.
-
2
Use it for real
Apply it during a normal week, then write down what changed, what resisted, and what you would adjust.
-
3
Make it repeatable
Attach the skill to a trigger you already notice so it becomes a default response, not a special project.
Common mistakes
- Judging the feeling before naming it accurately.
- Assuming intent before checking the situation and the pattern.
