Otherness: Emotionally Connecting and Relating to Others
Accepting NewSmart and Humility as well as practising Quieting Ego, Managing Self, and Reflective Listening lays the groundwork for relationship building with others.

(2) be genuine,
(3) communicate affirmation,
(4) listen effectively, and
(5) communicate support.
