Consider the context when processing information.

These steps lay the groundwork for a successful dialogue—an open channel of communication where the message will reach the intended audience.

1. Instead of writing a Facebook status to voice an opinion, reach out to people directly.
   That way you will get your message across to the right audience.

2. Consider the context of any piece of information you hear.
   Keep in mind that context is the most important aspect of information.

3. Develop space and time for keeping a true dialogue.
   It will make the dialogue more personal and more effective.
