Attack - Judgement of others, correct others Self doubt - Judgement of ourselves, play the victim Wait - for evidence, be present, curiosity Detect - My needs, self aware, create boundaries, assertiveness Connect - The others needs, compassion, understanding, empathy

[@bjuliene]

Thank you so much!

[@learnenglishwithpallavianand]

Very well summarized! 👍

[@sarthakmohapatra3738]

1. Attack, misbehave,blame,complian,gossip, punish,judge. 2. vulnerable, judge ourselves, low self esteem, feeling of rejection, self doubt , fear of failing and disappointment, feeling of a victim like no body cares or loves me 3. Being vigilant, being mindfull, observant,we stop, pause, wait and be conscious and WAIT (What Am I Thinking ). Observe the person and wonder why is she behaving in such a way 4. Detect our own behaviour, being self aware, we know who we r, we know what we want, we know where we r going, we r not afraid to speak our truth but we know our boundaries, we r powerfull, here we grow we r free and become our full power,we become assertive but not aggressive. At no1 we lose our power 5. Display of empathy, compassion,understanding, putting our egos in the back seat, listen to people and care for them, embrace other reality, other perspective, other diversity, being tolerant and what is important for the person sitting before us and to stay connected

[@maureen95]

We often talk about shifting behaviors but Louise's talk helps us to pragmatically feel and do exactly this. Even more so, we learn to stop the stories we tell ourselves which are fabricated in our mind until we open the communication. Great tool: W.A.I.T. - What am I thinking? What am I telling myself? Tweeting, texting and tech are with us forever. How can we be so connected yet so communicative. Louise gives us the answer. Thank you.

Having been raised by my very or should extremely harsh, tough, iron lady African mother as all most African mothers are, I was never given a chance to express myself. I was always told off, never good enough, always comparing me to my peers, it was hard to make Friends who were scared of being my friend because of my mother. Traveled to England for the first time in 2008 on one year placement at a retreat house where the wardens were a wonderful elderly couple. The love and attention i received, these people taught me to love me, encouraged me to use my voice. Alot of that pain and anger was released because of what i received from this couple and people who came to the retreat house. Louise thank you for this talk, i can self evaluate, i know what to let go of and what hold on to. i am watching this like for the fifth time now.

On her brother’s comment... I understand that being in a relationship is important but it’s also important to correct the person in a good way only for good. And can’t we correct the person in a good way and still be in a good relationship? Why do we need to choose between the two?

Dear Louise, At a low and vulnerable time in my life I reached out to You Tube to find strength. I found that I was interested in the Tedx talks for building up my self esteem! The Five Chairs jumped out at me and I continue to keep learning from your talk. Your audience captivatided me as well because I could see from the vedio that they could feel the encouragement too. I am a spiritual person as well. I am in the habit of reading and appling scripture to my day as well. When I was consoled with Proverbios 30:24-33, I was moved to thank you for the confidence and healing that your talk coupled with belief in a Grand Creator and Designer has done for me!

Definitely one of my favorite TED Talks. Louise's presence is so calming. I could listen to her all day!

That was an amazing talk, Louise! Thank you. We met in London at a WorldWork conference in 2012 and you talked to us about the 5 chair NVC tool then - and then 5 years later you showed that you've obviously learnt so much more - so it's a powerful tool. Bravo!

[@gildaenger2440]

One of the most brilliant talks I've seen on TED

[@ashkainfinite4321]

This all chairs beautifully connect with our chakras, very informative and needful Ted talk for all of us.

[@psychopathinthemaking]

She deserved that standing ovation. That was amazing! So many of the issues I've been having with myself and my family suddenly became clearer. I'm going to have to set aside some time and sit down with these chairs, see how best they can help me in changing my life.

[@louiseevans3534]

Love the idea of you 'sitting' with the chairs to get clarity ;-)) I've written a book called 5 chairs 5 choices (Amazon). That might help !

[@psychopathinthemaking]

Thanks for replying! I will check it out!

Thank you Louise. I was planning an attack when I go to work tomorrow. You saved me with these chairs. Lesson learned. Thanks 😊👍❤

[@melissamarsted4335]

I loved this TED Talk! I have had a few challenging days with my first Christmas in 23 years without my two sons. I am embracing their time to travel together which is what I wanted for them! But then some additional family dynamics appeared in my life. So tonight - feeling alone - I googled Ted Talks "chaos" which is how I found this one. I don't consider the life I live and lead to be chaotic but I allow a certain personality into my life that causes undue chaos (because I think I can "help" that person) and this talk was exactly what I needed. I retreat into nature when I feel "attacked" or "sad" but I also go on runs for joy and happiness! I love the chairs. The colors. The association with the animals. As a visual person, it will help me to remember! All of the quotes are from my people I like to quote! This is one of my all time favorite Ted Talks! I will share this talk often! And I will watch it over and over again! Thank you so very much!

Dear Louise, after watching this video for twice , I am sure that you are my favourite teacher. I am very glad to see you and hear your powerful and lovely voice. I live with my mother who is similar with yours. Actually I have very hard days with my mother. I am going to take your 5 chairs and i will try to solve my problems. Thanks you so much for your great talk. May God Bless You!

This was one of the best ted talks I’ve ever seen. Exceptionally articulate, well informed, and eye opening.

Every time I have a meeting, interview, or presentation, I go here, and I watch or read the book 5 chairs 5 choices.. who does the same ? Since 6 years ! Thank you, Louise 😊❤

[@Vixentopnotes]

thank You so Much for This Louise! your talk opened up my mind to an entirely new perspective on how to react to people and situations. things can be a lot less complicated if only we take a moment outside of ourselves to react in a non offensive way. I'm quick to anger, sometimes overly irritable so I know I need the 5 chairs in my life! God bless you for this!

[@LynnCole]

Go grab the book on Amazon - worth the read.

[@louiseevans3534]

I'm so glad you feel this can be helpful for you Yvonne. I also used to be very quick to react but as you say it only takes a moment of awareness and we can change the destiny of any situation or conversation :-))

I'm deeply moved by your speech. I'm in the process of being more aware of my behavior, thoughts, and communication with myself and others and this talk sparked something in me that I was trying to figure out this whole time. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart ❤. Thank you for helping me start the new year on the right foot.

This ted talk just answered the question I couldn’t figure out for myself or listen to from other people that have constantly been telling me, specially my partner. I can put this to work to improve my relationship with my partner as I’ve been needing to get out of the self-doubt and attack chair for a very long time. Wait and Connect are my goals
