Скачать или смотреть Communication Tips for Surviving Holiday Interactions

Holiday chaos isn’t accidental, it’s predictable.

And predictable problems require intentional responses.

Most people walk into holiday conversations hoping things would “just go well.”

That’s not a strategy.

Decide your role before you enter the room.
Do I need to blend in?
Observe?
Redirect?
Actually engage?

At a minimum, be polite and interested.

Ask questions people aren’t usually asked.
If it’s about work or kids, go two to three layers deeper.
Because it signifies something powerful: “I’m here. I’m present. I’m not here to be the problem.”
That’s signaling presence.

Communication isn’t just words.
It’s subtext.
It’s effort.
It’s intention.

Eventually, you have to choose how you’ll show up.
So you might as well go down swinging and try to add value instead of noise.
