The SNAP Method: What it is and why it works.

The SNAP Method: Transforming Communication and Conflict Resolution

By Bridgette Morris & Ashley Gottschalk

Welcome back to our exploration of the SNAP method, a transformative approach that enhances both personal and professional interactions. Today, I delve into why SNAP is not just effective but essential in navigating today’s complex relational landscapes.

Understanding How SNAP Works

SNAP stands for Stop, Notice, Ask, and Pivot. This method is more than a technique; it's a mindset shift that encourages a pause, creating space for mindful reflection before action. Here’s how it breaks down:

• Stop: Halt your automatic response to trigger situations.

• Notice: Observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment.

• Ask: Consider what outcomes you desire from the interaction.

• Pivot: Choose a response that aligns with your goals, promoting positive outcomes.

Why Choose SNAP?

SNAP's power lies in its simplicity and depth. It fosters emotional intelligence by encouraging you to engage with your feelings and thoughts critically and constructively. This approach is particularly effective against the backdrop of narcissistic dynamics, where emotional reactions can often escalate conflicts. Instead of being drawn into drama, SNAP equips you with the tools to remain composed and focused on your objectives.

SNAP in Action: Real-Life Applications

Imagine you’re in a heated discussion with a coworker who tends to dominate conversations. By applying SNAP, you can effectively shift the dynamic, ensuring your points are heard and respected without escalating the tension.
