About this title

Synopsis

Have you ever said something with pure intentions that came across negatively? Have you ever misunderstood a comment? Did you get defensive and react?

Most people don't intend to miscommunicate or offend, however, it happens. It causes big problems because what you say and how you interpret what others say to you relates to your own experiences. No one communicates perfectly, but questions help you gain understanding of yourself, your circumstances, and those with whom you have relationships. These relationships improve when there is greater understanding between the individuals. Learn what impedes your ability to understand and communicate effectively and how questions

can be the answer in your relationships, starting today.
