In this world, conversations are negotiations for closeness in which people try to seek and give confirmation and support, and to reach consensus. They try to protect themselves from others' attempts to push them away.

There are a lot of things that need to be done to improve communications.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

After all, it's the future of business communication that we're looking toward.

I hope it goes beyond meeting with them to a willingness to listen and compromise on issues.

Conversation creates a new kind of network within organizations. Current networks are used for competitive advantage, but conversation is focused on encouraging people to realize their potential.

There are a lot of issues that I hope we deal with at some point that we haven't up to now, for various reasons. Some technical, and some more political.

Our position is that we can sit down and talk to try to solve our problems through dialogue.

Communication will bring understanding and understanding will cause harmonious mutual relationships which can establish peace and stability.

I hope to use dialogue and culture as a means of bringing people of various cultures together, and using that as a way to resolve conflict.
