INTRODUCTION

English translation pending.

CORE DEFINITION

VOMP is a communication model for conflict dialogue. V, Ventilation, lets the other person release their emotions first. O, Ownership, has you acknowledge the part that is genuinely yours. M, Motivation, clarifies your real intent so it is not misread as malice. P, Planning, sets the next step together. As a sequencing guide for difficult conversations it handles emotion before the problem and responsibility before the other party, which lowers defensiveness and makes resolution possible.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

- Vent first: let the other side empty their emotions before you say anything substantive. - Own your slice: admit the part that is genuinely yours without over-apologizing. - Clarify intent: state the motive so silence is not filled with malice.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

A conflict conversation placed in order: Ventilation releases emotion, Ownership acknowledges your own part, Motivation clarifies the intent behind the act, and Planning sets the next step together. Emotion before problem and responsibility before the other party is what lowers the defensiveness.
