August 30, 2006We Are Misreading Each Other

Filed under: The PowerPhrase of the Week by merylrunion |

The more Georgia and Rob talked, the more discord there was. Georgia changed the tone by saying,

  • It seems to me we are both misreading each other. I’d like to back this conversation up to the beginning and ask questions to make sure I am understanding you correctly. Does that make sense?

Rob thought it was a great idea and they backtracked, working together to understand what they were both saying.
