Disclaimer
I like to have real discussions that challenge the things I believe and the way I think… and those topics occasionally offends those that I am talking with. Also, sometimes I try to be funny and miss the mark.
I encourage you to have the same freedom of conversation with me. I will attempt to understand the intention of the words. Furthermore, if I misunderstand or wrongly assume the meaning, I will ask for clarification.
When I cross your trigger boundary, I need to you let me know I have overstepped, and I promise that I will either explain my actions or apologize.
If we are not allowed to push boundaries. We are denying the ability to apologize, the ability to strengthen our relationship, and the ability to better distinguish experience and explore reality.
If we can not agree to this mode of communication, I will keep out conversations brief and professional.
