This is just the sort of different angle I was looking for in trying to
work with one of my clients. Carol Anne, thanks for bringing this
possibility up. The suggestion of how to pursue the new way of thinking is
really good:

I will let you know the outcome of making the suggestion and trying this
new way of looking at people's actions in my client's environment.

Regards
