ETHICAL COMMUNICATION

Most of us spend very little time thinking about the way in which we communicate.  We speak to convey our thoughts and to get our needs met.  We act based on our understanding of our obligations and to demonstrate our feelings.  The manner in which we speak and act conveys a great deal more than most of us are aware.  Our manner of communication reflects who we are and what we value.  The way in which we communicate shapes the character and the content of our relationships.
