Today’s quotes surround the subject of what it means to be a good listener and why listening is so important…
“Becoming a good listener, you are able to connect with others on more levels and develop stronger, deeper relationships.” (John C. Maxwell)
“The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply.” (Stephen Covey)
“Be a good listener…It makes the person who’s speaking to you feel loved, cared for and worthy of being heard.” (Wayne Dyer)
“Be a good listener, don’t judge and don’t put boundaries on someone else’s grief.” (Jodi Picoult)
“A good listener doesn’t fill the silence with chatter, make the conversation about themself, try and top the speaker’s story, sprinkle bits of wisdom that don’t apply, insert their own conclusions, wisdom and ideas until asked, or get uncomfortable with the emotions of the speaker.” (Unknown)
Peace, love, light, and joy,
