    Adopt a Person-Centered Approach It is critical that we take a person-centered approach to our outreach efforts. Individuals may have strong feelings and/or beliefs on this topic, and we will be more effective in building a connection with them if we listen authentically to their viewpoints and validate where they are coming from.
     
    Here are a few questions that we may ask ourselves to confirm that we are taking a person-centered approach...
    1. Do I listen more than I talk?

    2. Do I ask permission to give information? 

    3. Do I recognize and acknowledge any mixed/conflicting feelings I hear?
    4. Do I seek to understand this person?

    5. Do I summarize for this person what I’m hearing?

    6. Do I value this person’s perspective?

    7. Do I honor this person’s right and ability to make their own choices?
