Do you hear what I hear?

"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply." -Stephen Covey

A couple of years ago, I made a New Years Resolution to talk less and listen more -- really hard, by the way. Especially for someone who lived to multi-task. But the more I really focus on listening - to friends, my husband and children, and myself, the more aware I become of how much I can learn and accomplish in the quieter moments.

Try it out just for an hour in your next class or session. I promise it's worth the effort.
