7 Steps To Developing Trust: Step 1
I’m willing to bet you are now wondering why it’s important to look at yourself first when thinking about communicating in a Dialogue-oriented way. If your objective is to know someone, that person must first know you are someone they can trust. Here is the hard part.

Constantelos (as translated from the Greek by Sophia Demas). Those interested in the personalities of history and what they may have thought in relation to other figures and events will find this essay both entertaining and didactic.
