What the colleague does instead of is

Think of a time when you felt annoyed with someone at work. Instead of thinking about what this person is like, see if you can identify what they are specifically doing that annoys you. Such as "I was annoyed when Lisen rolled her eyes", rather than "Lisen is judgmental".
