We found ourselves climbing through thick mud and the weather became unpredictable, with cool, misty rain and unexpectedly sudden warmth. I would remove my rain jacket and within minutes a sharp wind appeared and I would feel cold again. I was continuously fussing with my jacket, walking…

We found our way to the hotel Casa Etxezuria, a beautiful 19th century Spanish villa in Valcarlos-Luzaide, and were greeted by the owners with the surprising news that our luggage had arrived!

Is your communication clear and direct? If someone invites you to lunch or an event, how do you respond? Do you say, “yes”, I think that might work”, or do you say “let me get back to you” or “yes”, that works for me”. Whatever your response may be, I would like you to think…
