Thank you for sharing your talents.

The written word is often difficult to use to convey our emotinal intent. That’s why converstations are so important. I’ve learned over the years that certain words like attack, morals, etc. can easily get a person doing down the wrong intentiion path. So can all captials in an email. 🙂

I like that the column inspires critical thinking and conversation. I certainly meant no unkindness to you or other posters. It was good to have this conversation and hear your thoughts. Gets my mind active on this Monday morning!

Touche! Should have just said comment on her moral reasoning that could be perceived as a negative comment.

Interesting that you viewed my post as an “attack.” That in itself is a story that you are telling yourself. Because by definition, an “attack” is subjective. Is it not?

Whoa! Another attack on Rebecca based on a assumption. In the crucial conversation training I took one of the things taught was not to make up your own story without the facts. I don’t recall her saying that what Kerry did was wrong only that his lack of communication put Molly in a position where she felt she had to steal to help him. Kerry later tried to make up for that by paying it forward (good for him). No one knows what acts of kindness Rebecca has or has not made so moral judgements to make a judgement of her moral reasoning. I thought this post was about crucial conversation communication skills, not morals. I supposed now I’ll get attacked like Rebecca and stop making posts too.
