BEN Model

When thinking on your feet, pay attention to BEN (Behaviors Emotions and Needs)
Pay attention to the behavior or set of behaviors that you are witnessing.
What Emotions do you guess are behind the behavior?
Ask yourself - Can I/We meet these needs? If so, how? If not, why not?
Acknowledge to yourself and/or between the parties that there may be needs that are not being met. Discuss if there is a way to meet those needs, and if so, how? If not, why not?
Proceed wisely.
