Keith and Laura discovered that the gap between what we say and what others assume we mean during a post-travel communication breakdown.
When Laura mentioned being hungry during their drive home, Keith’s tired brain immediately filled in the blanks creating unnecessary tension. His exasperated response shut down the conversation before it could truly begin.
But, curiosity offers a powerful solution. Through practical application, Laura and Keith demonstrate that curiosity isn’t just a nice-to-have social skill—it’s a fundamental tool for creating patience, reducing conflict, and building genuine understanding in all relationships.
