Intention

Dear Seekers,

WTF is closeness? It's a word we throw around at Spoke, but I feel it requires more specificity. We will be exploring this question in our firstFireside Chat, which aims to help people self-define what is "good enough" in their relationships and careers. But in short (for now)--for me, closeness with others is completely determined by my willingness to listen (with no intent to change, fix or convince) and to put my defensiveness (the anxiety that arises in order to challenge or avoid criticism) aside.
