I think that helping people communicate so that they understand each other is a big deal.

Sometimes people take a seemingly intractable position and we need to explore the concerns that are behind that position. Those concerns might be negotiable even if the positions themselves are not. - Dr. William Jacobsen, Most Valuable Peacemaker 2014 LAST CHANCE to sign up for the amazing workshop with Dr. Jacobsen.
