Jay Johnson TED
Remember all these stress is hurting your own health.
It’s my heart attack. We mislabel them calling one person aggressive while a friend doing the same is dedicated.
Asking questions is best way to learn the why the behaviour.
Use inclusive language. I notice ‘we’re’ having some communication issues.
Take a deep breath and count to 10 or take a break.
Separate the person from the behaviour.
Remember someone else’s behaviour should not be your heart attack.

Some reasons:
They’re insecure or don’t feel good about themselves.
Jealousy.
Lack of understanding.
They like you and they’re teasing.
Don’t lose control and don’t let them see you lose control.
Document and affirm your awesomeness.

Calm your nerves.
Use humour to diffuse disrespect.
Return disrespect with kindness.
Call them out on their behaviour.
Avoid them or set boundaries and ignore them. (Boundaries is a big one, more info here)

The Charisma Matrix
Diffuse the situation and go a little higher on tone and address the behaviour in front of others so the eyes are on them when they try to put the eyes on you.

Alexa Fischer
Pause – for the cause.
Pretend – oh you must not have realised the line started behind me.
Perceive – change the way you look at it and give them the benefit of the doubt.

1 – It’s about you and how you respond. Don’t act on their behavior. My words and actions are a testament about me. Remind yourself – It’s all about me.
2 a. – Who are you? Hurt people hurt people. Someone trying to shame you feels shame. Before opening your mouth, reflect on who you are. I am a strong father and husband, I am kind and understanding, I am patient and merciful. I choose to take the higher ground not the psychopath.
2 b. – I’m here to what? You are here for something bigger than your job. I’m here to love the things that are not loved, to fill the gaps nobody wants to fill.
2 c. – What do you want? You want peace, financial independence, life of jokes. These 3 are your personal compass.
3 – Some can call you something but your personal compass reminds you that their words don’t make you that. Don’t let facts get in the way of truth. Speak it, hear it, read it, write it (your personal compass).
4 – If someone triggers you, don’t affirm positive things. Have crucial phrases prepared in advance. Write in the correct affirmation ‘code’ to execute the code. They’re positively phrased and in the present. Have strategies prepared so you can cope. I am going to be strong instead of I’m not going to cry.
5 – Keep your chin up. Cops give you water so your chin stays up and that helps state of mind.
