Gaining trust<\/span>
SAct humbly. Respect of all that is and was. Pay attention to the emotional (personal and\/or family) bonds between people. Put \u201cWe\u201d before \u201cI\u201d and show that you are willing to sacrifice yourself in the group\u2019s interest.
Confronting<\/span>
Say what needs to be said, outspoken, without a strategy or double meaning. Confront in relationship with what is means for the group\u2019s safety and existence. It\u2019s helpful to use an elder who is accepted by the group (on family grounds) to foster trust and safety. It\u2019s advisable to bring into action the group\u2019s natural leaders. Attention: Purple has the tendency to avoid confrontations, especially when this undermines the group\u2019s interest. Be aware that confrontations will mostly occur in the personal sphere (such as in families). To be appreciative on a personal title, breakthroughs can be achieved.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
