Your personal and professional success in life is largely determined by how well you interact with other people. You have probably noticed it is very easy to get along with certain people. You almost instantly and effortlessly understand the other person because communication flows. But with most people, communication takes more effort. It is sometimes hard to understand where the other person is coming from, what they want, and what their intentions are. Meanwhile, the other person may experience the same uncomfortable feeling. The outcomes of the interaction are not what you want. It takes energy, effort, and concentration. Still, the results are not what you hoped they would be.
