Background on This Sunday’s Chat
Jackie Hooper, author of The Things You Would Have Said, moved me with her book. She received thousands of letters from people who wanted to express regret for things they had said or loving things they wish they had said but didn’t. It got me thinking about the value of reversing the regret process and considering our words before we speak.

- How does expressing regret make you feel?

- Where does emotional intelligence play into expressing loving words?
- How can we learn to suppress hurtful words and speak with more care?
- Is it more acceptable in our society to say very loving words or hurtful words? Why?
- How can you make it more OK to express truly caring words at work?
- People who often speak lovingly ___________________________.
- Which people skills build bonds for caring interaction?
- What have you learned personally from regret?
- Is it tougher to regret hurtful words you’ve said or loving words you haven’t said?
- Does delaying apology/regret make it tougher to accept?
- What brings people to hurt those that never hurt them i.e. bullying?
- Why do people stand by silently when they witness verbal bullying?
- Would regret come more quickly if we spoke up?
