I absolutely believe this is true to the extent that you say, our lives depend on it. I see the quality of my conversations as a mirror of my own inner conversations, and thus having them externally is always a a process of self-discovery at the same time I am discovering the other person.

Another life-enhancing essay, thanks Rik. It's been great getting a front-row seat to coaching training through your writing. Without doing anything formal, I feel like I have a basic toolkit which has improved my conversations - with family, with clients, with friends seeking advice. Thanks for sharing your passion. I'm ready to ambush some more innocent bystanders.
