In this week's FRIDAY FIELD NOTES, Ryan Michler tackles the often-unspoken side of communication—the receiver's role. He unpacks the concept of a 100-100 approach, where both parties carry equal weight in ensuring the success of a conversation. He explores how being aware of the intended outcome can shape our understanding and responses, and why it's crucial to set personal and time boundaries for a respectful and fruitful dialogue. As he dissects these responsibilities, he also addresses the need to actively strive for comprehension rather than feign ignorance, shedding light on how these practices contribute to more meaningful interactions.   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS (00:00) Episode Intro (01:50) The Responsibility of Effective Communication (09:54) Effective Communication and Logical Fallacies (13:28) Building Stronger Relationships and Communication   Battle Planners:  Pick yours up today!
