The ALG Methodology™

Andrew L. Gardner's practical approach to helping people move from emotional awareness to intentional action and continued growth.

— What It Is

The framework behind the work

The ALG Methodology™ connects Andrew L. Gardner's work in emotional intelligence, self-management, accountability, leadership, discipline, and personal growth.

ALG stands for Andrew L. Gardner. The methodology is taught in You Can Help How You Feel training, speaking, and personal development programs.

— Core Framework

Pause • Process • Respond

A three-step practice for the moment between what happens and what you do next.

STEP 01

Pause

Create space between an emotional trigger and the behavioral response.

STEP 02

Process

Identify what you are feeling, what triggered it, what facts are actually present, and what outcome you want.

STEP 03

Respond

Choose an intentional response instead of allowing the emotion to choose the reaction.

PROCESS · 1

What am I feeling?

PROCESS · 2

What triggered it?

PROCESS · 3

What facts are actually present?

PROCESS · 4

What outcome do I want?
