The best way to communicate information is in direct one-on-one face-to-face meetings because Interpretations are most accurate.

About  70% of communication happens through body language and facial expression.  Voice-tone contributes another 10%-20 %. Only 10% or less is through words themselves.

At FindAMentor direct contact is not always possible . We can still benefit with the sharing of information.

The 2^nd best way to connect with a mentor is over the phone.  You maintain the voice tone which helps with interpretation.

The third option is to communicate in emails.  Be very specific and share emotion and thoughts in the writing.
