Can differences in communication styles ever converge to make a relationship work? I talk emotionally but my ex speaks in logic.

They probably can if you can at least see the other person's point of view and understand and try to make things work from there

It depends upon the level of self awareness you both have. What I mean is I always think I can learn something when talking to a person with different ways of thinking. I love that.

Yes I’m emotional and my fiancé is logical and it’s a nice balance because we’re both so willing to hear each other’s perspective and see it as a positive!

Fortunately I’m in a relationship where we are both logical thinkers.

At work I struggle with several who have emotional reactions (especially as leaders) for DAYS before logic kicks in. The drama is draining.

It can. The important thing is communication. Keep it going. Don’t go into silent treatments or withdrawing.
As long as you are talking it will always work

No. I don't think so. My ex (boy) was the emotional one. I (logic) never saw eye to eye with him, even though I wanted to. The accusations always escalated from him. I left and found someone who understands me and speaks my language and there is no strife, no arguments etc. What a stress relief and breath of fresh air.

I’m sure it can, if that logical person is also very patient. I’m not. I don’t think I’d get very far at all with someone who just operates on emotion.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?
