The Key to Powerful Communication

What's the key to having powerful communication? I think the most important thing in communicating within relationships is distinguishing your comments about a person's thoughts or actions versus the person themselves. I think it's instinctual for us. Like, let's say you say something that I completely disagree with, right? It is a human instinct for me to be like, Lewis, you're wrong, you're an idiot, you're all this and that. We have to teach ourselves to separate the idea from the person. the behavior that you're talking about? Or the behavior from the person. And instead say, Hey, Louis, I disagree with that idea and I don't really like it. And this is why. Lead into it with curiosity and understanding that it's okay to disagree about things, even relatively important or even ethical things, without necessarily hating or disrespecting the person.
