““Listening is not understanding the words Listening is not understanding the words of the question…listening is understand of the question…listening is understand

why the question was asked…”why the question was asked…”

Simon SinekSimon Sinek

The communication process– try to be understood to get our point across– we pretend to listen– selectively hear certain parts– focus only on the words being said– miss the meaning entirely

effective listeningeffective listening

• our intent is to reply not understand• we listen to ourselves as we prepare in the mind what

we are going to say or ask• we filter everything we hear through experience as our

frame of reference


This happens because we don’t listen with empathy!

jerry springerjerry springer


• Empathetic listening– gives you powerful information– focused on receiving info without injecting your own

thought, feelings, motives– empathy allows you to focus and cause influence to

problem solve


Stephen R. CoveyStephen R. Covey

joining to co-create so joining to co-create so each is able to receive each is able to receive
