It is also important to use when the ways that people communicate with their behaviour are clearer than the words that they use, or when what people say and what they mean are different.

It is easy to assume that someone doesn’t have much to say if they rarely speak, but it isn’t the case. This person-centred thinking tool helps us to find other ways of communicating well together.
