@feather I'm the type of person who is quiet a lot and depending on the context, my quiet means absorbed, observant, concentrated, thoughtful, 'will probably ask you an unexpected question in the next 5 minutes and ruin your meeting's agenda 😅' (the last one's a joke). Hope it helps.

Ready! Steady! Go! 🥁

@ManeeshJuneja This was put together from two different people: understand where people's baseline knowledge is and how they relate to power. When you can navigate that, you can make projects, work relationships, organisations collaborate. When you can't, something falls apart.
They’ve been married for forty-five years, and reached the point in their relationship where most of the communication happens wordlessly.
A subtle smile, a nod.
A “hmm” or a “yeah” or the occasional “fer sure.”
Their love reaches a place, deep down. 1/
