Learning to communicate with your spouse, boss, children, friends and family can be challenging enough,  but when you see life not only through your unique style but with a different lens it makes it that much more interesting and sometimes downright discouraging.   In this episode we discuss 3 practical ways to live with and  understand a visionary and or pragmatist. Communicating with a visionary from a pragmatic point of view (POV) requires  1) a mindset of optimism or at least a willingness to be optimistic when all you see is what you hear; which a lot of times is risk, $$, time and lots of hard work, 2) ability to see from big to small, elephant to bite size, and 3) the ability to structure a timeline from A to Z systematically without jumping from A to Z when that's what the visionary wants.

Communicating with a pragmatist from a visionaries POV requires 1) LOTS OF PATIENCE (LOL)!  2) Share the vision gently; temper passion with probability of execution from the get-go.   2) Value the person who is a part of the execution rather than just seeing the person as a means to the end result. 3) Embrace the process and the person not the product!
