This three-step strategy helps leaders facilitate positive movement towards high integrity and character that often people can lose during a time of a crisis. This does not mean people lack character it's just that they lose sight of it especially during the crisis when stress and anxiety can be high. Here is that three-step process: 

1)      Ask Questions- when asking questions such as the self-actualized question “What will you do positively two... fill in the blank “ - this prompts people to think and frame out the responses to be positive which ultimately assists in the process of changing their behavior and mentality. 

2)     Use Reflection Strategically - Ask questions and provide time to reflect. Literally ask people questions and tell them you do not want an answer just now rather you want to give them ample time to truly think about a thoughtful and professional response. Time and reflection are absolute awesome tools to facilitate self-awareness and professional development of conversations. 

3)      Use Journaling- ask people to journal positive thoughts and observations during this time of crisis which helps fuel their own mind and develop a mechanism to regain and or rebuild their character during these crises driven times.
