Every failed relationship I have seen has been mostly due to lack of clear communication. Be it personal, business, vanilla or lifestyle, the lack of effective conversation about expectations, desired outcome, agreeing to a plan, setting boundaries and goals can lead to disappointment and disaster. Verbal and non-verbal forms of discourse and getting to know each other with cogent messages (IMHO) yields happiness for all parties!I have a failed marriage of 40 years due to our not caring to speak our minds in a clear and consistent manner. My experience in this life. Hopefully someone can learn from my pain! Tend your personal relationships better than your business (if successful)! Think before you speak (count to 20 LOL)!I’m an engineer and coach younger folks in their professional careers. It’s amazing how it’s carried over to enriching their personal lives!
