Thanks for the comments Shah. I appreciate your thoughts on this. On your second point, I agree that at some point, if you continue to hit a communication wall after trying to bridge the gap yourself, then you do need to walk away. There is only so much we can do as humans trying to relate with other humans.

I just left you with a long comment. I don't know where it went. So, here you go again at my 2nd attempt.Q. What do you think about my assumption that relationship and communication must be in place before tackling creating culture? I believe in any successful endeavor in life there has to be certain amount of relation that comes through a solid relationship and creating culture is not exception. The best culture creating idea can fall flat on itself if the person suggesting it can't communicate it effectively with those around him/her. However, I've noticed that it is always much easier to communicate an idea where there is a built in transparent relationship already in existence. Q. How about my statement that those in children’s ministry have to suck it up when it comes to bridging the communication gap to those in leadership?A. This definitely is a trust issue. I lost my job because I got tired of sucking it up for a group of leaders I had lost my trust in. BTW, how long are you supposed to suck it up before you run out of air?PS. Sorry for being among the group that got you to your workshop late and then had to leave early.
