were of one heart and one mind (Moses 7:18)

Principles of Communication
• One cannot not behave
• One cannot not communicate
• The meaning of a given behavior is not the
true meaning of the behavior; it is,
however, the personal truth for the person
who has given it a particular meaning
(subjective)
• Be curious! What is their reality?
• Communication takes place in a context
