Great conversation over there on that post. You struck a chord there I think. Nicely done.

I think you’ve summed this up wonderfully: Fact of the matter is that questions beg answers, and those answers can be given verbally, but also through our actions. Both must match up to intention, and our intention (or lack of any considerate intention at all) can be very transparent – especially when people are so hoping we’ll be better! It’s like that saying conveys so well: “What you do speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying!” I love that you share your good experiences too, for they illustrate that our getting better really isn’t all that hard, but what a world of difference it makes! .-= Rosa Say´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TalkingStoryWithSayLeadershipCoaching/~3/VXXJR7v5mBU/" rel="nofollow">Aspire to be Appreciated</a> =-.
