3. Identify the problem: take a step back and identify the root cause
4. I don’t know’ – the hardest 3 words in the English language: most people will not admit their ignorance and persevere in their wrong ways
5. Shift framework: look from the other person’s perspective
6. Let the garden weed itself: most problems go away with time, or the person who asked for help figures out out
7. Beware of false positives:
8. Stories stick: most people remember stories instead of facts
