Strategies for communicating with Amy
Use a casual, informal style of conversation
Encourage her creative intuition
Provide incentives and encouragement
Don't always expect brief, specific answers :-)
Be prepared to share problems openly
Provide information that stimulates conversation
Barriers to effective communication with Amy, DO NOT:
Reduce the pace of a free-flowing conversation
Spend too much time discussing 'what ifs'
Take credit for her ideas
Impose a 'can't be done' or defeatist attitude on her
Be negative or non-communicative
Expect to 'rail road' her without a fight
Criticise, condemn or suppress her enthusiasm
Unnecessarily challenge ideas or actions
