“I use the [Practical Wisdom] Framework every day. Each situation is different, and the Framework provides a consistent manner in which to think about how we engage with others in an intentional way. Recognition helps me pause to identify my feelings in the moment, giving me time to think about how I might normally respond if not driven by emotion. Recalibrating [helps me] form a response for an optimal outcome.”
