    • Relevance gives your words more power.
      • “When you talk about inclusion or diversity or race. Is in context of the space you’re in?”
        • Context protects you and builds trust.
          • “It would be out of context if I started giving you travel tips. Or if I started giving you dating advice. Or if I started talking about gardening. Those things are out of context.”
            • Reasonable people change when shown the evidence.
              • “One of my tests of if a person is reasonable is if they change their mind when presented with new trustworthy evidence. “
