Thanks for your comments, Kenn and Graham. There is a great saying that ” we get what we tolerate” and that the quality of our lives is determined by the quality of conversations we have. So why not do our bit in making these conversations rich, authentic and real.

What a great post. In my experience it is not so much a case of not talking about the ‘pink elephant’ but doing so from the perspective of how we feel. How we feel is something that is personal and does not require the other person to be wrong, at fault etc. I had an occasion this week to have a ‘robust’ conversation with a person in which I stated in no uncertain terms what I was feeling – however rather than pointing the finger and ‘shoulding’ on them, I instead pointed out that I felt let down by them, that I was dissapointed and I had expected more of them. Whether they chose to accept what I was saying is, of course, entirely up to them, however when you come from the heart and talk about how you are feeling, it really leaves no room for anyone to come back at you – or to be aggressive.
