Dialogue

Is the art of intelligent dialogue gone? I wonder in meetings with clients or time spent with friends, that often meaningful dialogue is looked down upon. "Chatting" about the latest in trends, fashion, politics or views might be entertaining, but does not always provide something which nourishes us and our intellect. I have to say that I received an incredibly kind correspondence from a mentor today via email. Interestingly enough, our virtual conversation was one of the most positive and stimulating I have had in some time. Make a point to have your comments have meaning or at least be silent and listen - we should often consider more fully what we say prior to actually saying it. Take a moment, think, reflect and then share.
