Course overview
Lesson Overview
4.7 – Managing Tone and Body Language in Disagreements: Notice when your voice grows louder or sharper, because tone often hurts more than words; slow your speech and breathe deeply to stay grounded; keep your arms relaxed and posture open to show cooperation instead of attack; avoid pointing fingers or rolling eyes which send disrespect even without words; choose neutral phrases like “Let’s try again” or “I need a moment” to de-escalate tension; pay attention to the other person’s signals to see when a break is needed; practice speaking while maintaining a calm expression so the message lands gently; after the conversation, reflect on what helped you stay respectful; good tone and body language create safety, making solutions easier to find.
