On Communication   Communication is more than two people tossing words back and forth to each other If you have something to share about what I offered, are you sure you are addressing what I actually said and what I actually intended for you to hear Or are you responding or reacting to what you think I said or meant or intended (separate and distinct from my words, my meaning, my intention) If you know what I said, what I meant and what I intended, because you took the time to check all of that out with me, and you know (versus think) that I know that you know what I said what I meant and what I intended, then what you have to share with me about what you think about what I said means far more to me than if you simply speak as if you had checked it out with me first get it? good so let's both remember it works both ways always.
