Do you want to be heard? Do you wish they could hear you? Heard = understood and we all like that!

It’s so important to realize that we talk to discover how we feel NOT to report. So if someone listens to you, it helps you sort things out. It is nice to listen to others so they can sort stuff out just right in front of you… Ya, it is nice to be a good listener.

Always try to calibrate who you are talking to and listening to. What kind of listener are you? What kind of listener are they?

I go over general types of listening:

discern, analyze, appreciate, support

Then I go over specific listening styles:

Action-oriented, time-oriented, people oriented, content-oriented,

Women are typically people and content listeners and men are more time and action-oriented listeners.

Incompetent listening. DON’T do these at home!!

Selective, pseudo-listening-pretending to hear, aggressive listening-to attack

narcissistic listening is when you hijack the convo and turn it to you. Yuck. We are all guilty of that, so don't do that anymore!

Active listening means you care with your heart~

Listen with your heart!
