We’re all wired differently, right? Yet, so often people expect others will react with happiness, anger, curiosity or sympathy to the same things that provoke those feelings in us.

I described my desire to conduct a special kind of personal development workshop aimed and self-empowerment and increasing life satisfaction. My partner is an IT professional, and I understand when I speak in touchy-feely language, I will often lose him. Still I thought, he could appreciate goal-setting and would be interested to hear what actions I planned to take to accomplish this goal.
