• For the same situation, two observers can have completely different
interpretations.

REDEFINING “LISTENING”
• To interpret involves our life experience and the ideas that each word
generates in our mind.

Declarations
(judgements - opinions)
THE POWER EXERCISED WHEN
SPEAKING
• Affirmations (facts):
• Can be demonstrated (true or false).
• Follow reality.
• Judgements (opinions):
• Can be agreed or disagreed with.
• Transform reality.
• Can be valid or invalid, depending on how they are fundamented.
HOW CAN WE FUNDAMENT AN
OPINION?
Objective
Facts
Every rational
system is based on
premises accepted
from emotion.
(Humberto Maturana)
THE ROLE OF EMOTIONS
• Emotions are generated because of an event that interrupts our
current life momentum.
• When they appear, they modify our action possibilities.
• We are not responsible for the emotions that arise on us, but we are
responsible of staying on them or not.
