The C&E – A Powerful Pairing

It's often said that "communication is the key to good relationships."

But we've found that there's something missing.

One extra ingredient: Expectation.

When you combine them, it's like magic.

Clearly communicating an expectation is a powerful combination.

Whether in work, marriage, parenting or any other personal interaction, being explicit with these two factors will work wonders.

Conversely, go back and dissect nearly any relational breakdown. You'll be shocked at how many times one or the other - and usually both - are neglected.

You may have communicated, but did you clearly define an expectation? Where you synced on what you both expected from an interaction? If you had communicated your expectation and were aligned, how would you interaction have been different?

Pro-tip: Try it for a week. Stay hyper-aware of this pairing ... we call it "The C&E" in our family ... and see what kind of transformations come from aligning together.
