Comment on If You Want to Learn How Someone Communicates, Watch How She Orders by Kellie Brooks

Hi Alexia ~
I worked in the hospitality biz for a couple decades – and if I may be so bold – believe that I am an expert on people because of it!
I’ve seen marriages disintegrate, engagements be born, business deals brokered, and all sorts of other beginnings and endings. Everything happens at the table. I can tell in one minute how something will work out for someone, based on how they conduct themselves in a restaurant. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment!
Really liked this post – it sends out an awareness to people to pay attention to how they act ALL the time, not just when they think it’s important.

Comment on Do You Want to Be Right… Or Preserve the Relationship? by Alexia Vernon

Thanks @JessLarsen. In answer to your question, HECK YEAH! And those are the relationships you don’t want to preserve. If the other party is not willing to own her role in a situation or be a part of the solution, it’s good for everyone to walk away.

One of my favorite questions to ask when you’re not sure if moving forward is possible is: “How can I get this right for you?” If what’s revealed is totally unreasonable or the person cycles back into the story of how she’s been “wronged,” there’s your answer.

What a thoughtful post, Alexia. Thank you so much. Your friend’s experience hits me squarely in the gut. Do you think that there are also times that preserving a relationship is not possible? It does take two willing parties to preserve a working partnership. I’ve run into only one circumstance like that, and the only way forward was choosing to behave in ways that I would be proud to recount to others if asked. Do you have other suggestions?
