I consider that many people whether it's Communication in relationships in business whatever the context is they have a really hard time detaching from what they think other people need versus what other people actually need before you do something ask often times we're given requests by people strangers friends co-workers boss and we don't have enough information and we start to act cuz we think it's like obvious right but it's not so obvious let's move this into professional realm client says I need x y and Zed and you're like got it I'm going to go do it because I'm afraid the perception of being annoying I'm asking too many questions like don't you just get it and then you go do that thing and they're going to love it and we're willing to risk 80% of the times we're going to get it wrong and 20% of the times we'll get it right and then the client's like um what's this what is this so Our intention is to be perceived as professional but what we're doing is the opposite of creating the air professionalism
