Question: Do you think it's important to communicate your plans to others?

Sample Answer (The AREA technique):

Answer: Yes, I believe it's essential to communicate plans to others.

Reason: Communicating plans helps avoid confusion, misunderstandings and helps to manage expectations. It also allows others to prepare and make necessary arrangements.

Example: For instance, if I'm planning to travel with my family, it's important to communicate the travel dates, itinerary, and budget to everyone involved. This helps to avoid scheduling conflicts, budget disagreements or other issues that can arise.

Alternative: While communicating plans is important, it's also important to respect others' schedules and needs. Flexibility and open communication can help to adjust plans when necessary to accommodate others' needs.
