[She looks sleepy, but she's jacked up on coffee and on a roll. Expect questions. Lots of questions.


Ok, we've played games, now let's bring it back...honesty and communication. Tell me what you understand about honesty and it's role as relates to influence, manipulation, friendship, trust and reciprocity? How do we recognize honesty? In what ways do we try to assure the honesty of those we communicate with? And what about body language? Is body language honest?

And now tell me how this fits with sender/message/receiver.

"I think honesty is very important in all relationships. Without it, trust is lost. Once trust is lost, communication suffers."

What level of relationship, Piper? Do you mean any and all, or more...intimate relationships. Friends and family?

"Honesty and trust are important in all levels of relationship."

How so, Piper. Give me an example.

"If a relationship of any level is not built on honesty, then it is built on lies and manipulation. Manipulation can only lead to hurt feelings and betrayal which leads to a breakdown in communication."
