HEY MWF'ers...
Just wanted to report back my experience of empathetic listening. I went to dinner with a friend tonight. She had lots to talk about so it was a perfect opportunity for me to implement habit #5.
I think I did an excellent job listening but could not restrain myself from giving advise and interpreting. Arg! However, I felt I was able to give less-autobiographical responses than I usually do. I felt like my efforts paid off despite my lack of restraint because I was able to establish trust between us- something I felt our friendship has been lacking.
Comment on this post and share your experience with EMPATHETIC LISTENING!
