Communication is a two way street, sometimes multiple streets are involved and messages must be sent, received and perceived in the accurate, intended manner. 



In order to communicate effectively, the sender must accurately communicate their message to the receiver and the receiver must interpret and perceive the message accurately. That's where communication gets tricky and sometimes leaves us confused or irritated.

Inspirational Quotes



Motivation

What is motivation? According to the merriam-webster dictionary, motivation is "the act or process of giving someone a reason for doing something, a force or influence that causes someone to do something."
