Ask Questions

Communication is the hard part of building relationships, and it gets even harder when we try to do it with less than good information. When things aren’t going how you want them to go in any kind of relationship, taking the chance to ask questions is vital.

Of course, context is key here. We’re not asking to accuse, we’re asking to learn and understand: if you can come from a place of trying to know where the other person might be coming from, you’re setting yourself up for success. A little extra knowledge can be built towards a lot better understanding between people.
