Communication

I recently attended a communication seminar to help me expand my communicative abilities. It was quite a worthwhile event!
The one thing that I took away that I want to share most is this:

When you are communicating with someone you're either:

Opening the door

or

Closing the door

---

And the way to keep the door open is to make the one whom you're talking too feel safe. To protect their ego and lift them up.

All too often we forget.

~~May we all continue to lift each other up~~that' what we're here for! :D
