How and why can we improve the role of perception in interpersonal communication?

The inside of each circle means all deep-level characteristics someone has (e.g., personality, attitudes, education, skills, etc.). Each arrow represents the type of communication taking place between each individual. Anyone is free to interpret the meaning of each color, because it may vary across people, settings, and situations. (CCO 1.0)

We shouldn’t underestimate the power of listening to make someone else feel better and to open our perceptual field to new sources of information.
