Active Listening

What an interesting way to view listening!

Taking that a bit farther....it's more common that people first want and need to be listened to, then with their permission, to share your advice (once they've moved to the No Problem Area of the Behavior Window).

From the creator of Active Listening...

...and Active Listening is a way to demonstrate empathy. (Image from: https://www.instagram.com/earthbound_madness/?hl=en)

Happy New Year!
