NOTICE • CONNECT • COMMUNICATE • RESPECT A Look Can Speak Without Words Imagine entering a room where someone looks up, makes brief eye contact and greets you with a natural smile.

If it works, continue where appropriate. If it does not, learn from the outcome and adjust your plan. ACT • OBSERVE • LEARN • ADJUST The Moment When Thinking Must Become Action There comes a point in every difficult situation when thinking, analysing and preparing must give way to action. We may have paused to control our immediate reaction, assessed the facts, identified what we can influence, considered alternative options and reached out for support. Yet the problem remains until we take a suitable next step. This is where the final step of the CRA TACKLE System becomes important: Execute and Evaluate. Execution means putting a decision into practice. Evaluation means examining what happened, comparing the result with what was intended and deciding what should happen ne...
