There are so many pitfalls that can happen when trying to communicate. In this episode, @MaryLing talks about how some people didn't understand her intent when she said the phrase, "Bless Your Heart". And @DonHarkey explains a situation where a cultural barrier prevented team members from being able to build trusted relationships with one another. 

The People Centric team talks through these conversational pitfalls:
<ul><li>cultural differences</li>
 <li>regional differences within the USA</li>
 <li>colloquialisms</li>
 <li>communication styles</li>
 <li>narrative paradigms</li>
</ul>
