The Speak Up or Skip It™ Quiz

The Speak Up or Skip It™ Quiz

Is It Worth Talking About? Find Out Here.

You’ve got something on your mind, but you’re not sure if you should say it out loud.

Maybe you're wondering: Will it help you, the other person, or the situation? Could it cause harm instead? Is it even worth it?

This short quiz is here to give you some clarity because the decision to speak up isn’t always clear-cut. It’s not about right or wrong—it’s about what’s helpful, necessary, or even possible.

This is your chance to pause, think it through, and take the next step with more confidence.

This tool is based on my 30+ years of helping people navigate communication challenges. It’s not a psychological test or clinical assessment, just a practical guide to help you feel more in control of what happens next.

"I have had great success in using the Relationship Protocol in various types of relationships in my life. The four steps seem so simple, yet they really work, and the concepts of the benefit of the doubt and owning your part have been useful in helping my clients as well. I’ve given numerous copies of the book to colleagues, family. I want to help other people improve their communication skills and build better relationships too and so I will continue to give this book as gifts for many occasions to come!"

Laurel Ellson, Attorney

"If you use this protocol and continue to return to it when difficulties arise, you will have the power to transform your relationship into something that can truly flourish. And even more important, this book and its messages are not just for couples. These concepts can be applied to many types of relationships, and you will see instances and examples of that throughout the book. I’m grateful to Debbie for sharing The Relationship Protocol with me, and I am happy she is now able to share it with all of you. I was honored to write the foreword for such an important book."

Dr, Joel Haber, Clinical Psychologist, Author, International Anti-Bullying Speaker & Parenting Expert

"I met Debra recently at an event in Philadelphia. When I began talking with Debra, I didn’t realize that she was one of the guest speakers. Debra is very pleasant; my initial thought was this woman has a beautiful soul. Positivity oozed from Debra, which carried over into her presentation. I loved the tools and techniques prescribed; I am practicing being a much better communicator, and I have stronger, more meaningful relationships with my loved ones. I would recommend The Relationship Protocol: How to Talk, Defuse and Build Healthier Relationships to anyone interested in building better communication and relationship skills."
