As we move from one extreme to another, we are granted the gift of a story to tell of how we journey as people in our personal lives and leaders in our business or community lives. We tell of our evolution as man and womankind and all the variation in between.

Here are some examples of extremes we may face in our lives and how we can journey from one to the other through story. These experiences impact us in specific ways and define our story. The examples below are just a few of my own that spark stories that brought me from one extreme to another:

Move away	Go To	For the purpose of
Private Transportation	Public Transportation	Contributing to fewer emissions issues
Arguing	Reasoning	Limiting unproductive fighting
Rushing	Taking our Time	Limiting the number of missteps or reducing anxiety
Judging	Affirming	Benefiting from greater curiosity
Indifference	Compassion	Demonstrating care for others
Texting	Talking	Developing a more human connection
Talking	Listening	Allowing others to be heard
