The CounterSign
The perspective no one looks at: the other side of your situation, then a way forward.
Most answers tell you what the signs say. The CounterSign is written without your chart. It speaks like someone who has seen many lives, and it looks at the part of the situation you may not have looked at: the other person, the other reason, the other choice.
- It never mentions signs or the chart
- It has three parts: both sides, the honest truth, the way forward
- It ends on a statement, never a question
Example
Example: "They may not be ignoring you. Some people go quiet when they are afraid of saying the wrong thing. You can write one short message with no pressure in it. Then let them answer in their own time."
