1. As interested as I may be in any subject, there is a limit.
   For instance, we’re all interested in this training,
   and that’s why be spend 2 or 3 hours every day here together.
   But we’re probably not ready to devote 10 hours straight to it!
2. It is therefore a limited (or very limited) resource,
   that we need to manage.
3. It is usually limited by the place where we meet itself,
   by the time of the day at which we meet,
   and always by the attention span of the attendants.

A time that suits all of us?

1. IN SYNCHRONY: All of us at the same time.
   Very difficult that we are all available at the same time.
   When we are, only for a very short time.
2. NOT IN SYNCHRONY: Each one at his/her own time.
   Internet allows us to work on ONLINE documents where we can share our thoughts in a structured WAY.
   Each one puts as much time as s/he can, whenever s/he can.

Observing and being conscious of what happens around us to have a better understanding.

1. Start with one minute of silence.
2. Be conscious of your breathing (slow, deep).
3. Listen twice as much as you speak.
4. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. (Stephen Covey)
5. Empathy: What has lead ME to think this way? What has lead HIM/HER to think this way?

Building Blocks of Communication
Motivation to communicate with each other. Maslow Pyramid.

1. Helping the others.
2. Feeling good with what I do.
3. Pushing an exciting, worthwhile project.
4. Joining people I feel great with.
5. ‘Personal motivations’… of the others.
   • You and I happen to have two different points of view.
   • When I give you my ‘objective’ ARGUMENTS,
     I’ll remove your ignorance and
     I’m sure you will certainly agree.
   • If not, I’ll then give you ‘objective’ DATA
      and you will then agree, for sure.
   • If you still don’t…
     Aha!!!
     You’re not being reasonable,
     and you’re denying my ‘objective’ arguments and information!!!
     You must have a HIDDEN AGENDA!!!
   • 5.And we ALL think this way! 😳 :-DDD
