BEFORE YOU BEGIN

What situation would you like to clarify?

Choose a specific past, present or future situation. For privacy, avoid names and details that could identify someone.

NORTH · WANT

Clarify your willingness and intention.

Willingness influences whether you act. Intention gives your conversation direction.

WEST · DUTY

Stay ethical and responsible.

Consider the consequences of your words, and of silence.

EAST · KNOW

Define what you want to achieve.

A clear goal and suitable wording make understanding easier.

SOUTH · CAN

Assess your confidence and the conditions.

Even with a clear intention, the conversation depends on your resources and the context.

RECALIBRATE · TAKE ACTION

Bring the four directions together.

The dimensions can reinforce one another or create tension. Identify the magnets that might pull you off course.

No online saving

BEFORE YOU SPEAK

A pause. Four directions. A more conscious choice.

The Compass is not here to decide for you. It invites you to prepare communication that is clearer, more responsible and authentic.

Disruptive magnets

These are factors that can draw your attention, influence your interpretation or distract you from what matters in a conversation. They are not necessarily negative; the key is to notice them.

Examples

How to spot them

Ask yourself: “What is taking up all the space in my mind?”, “What am I treating as certain without checking it?” and “What would an outside observer see?”

The aim is not to eliminate these influences, but to identify them so you can choose your next action more consciously.
