What skills did I use today?

1. DEAR (describe, express, assert, reinforce)
2. Attend to relationships

Describe- "In November I asked you to call me once a week and you said you would."

Express- "I'm disappointed that I am the one who initiates contact."

Assert- "What day of the week will you be calling me?"

Reinforce- "When you call me we can talk about what we're doing on the 14th."

That was a call I had with my sister. I also emailed my meetup asking them where they want to meet next week. I RSVP'd yes to a gay library event.
