Gather Information:

All relationships begin and develop through the gathering and sharing of information.

Create Expectations & Assumptions:

We create expectations and assumptions from the information that we have gathered. If the expectations and assumptions feel aligned and positive, that we are “on the same page,” we will want to solidify our commitment to move forward together.
