That expression, in turn, feeds on the other person's spirit, and genuine creative empathy takes place, producing new insights and learnings and a sense of excitement and adventure that keeps the process going.”

“Inevitably, anytime we are too vulnerable we feel the need to protect ourselves from further wounds.
