LISTENING
1. When someone has said something, try repeating back what you heard. Then ask, “Did I get that right?”
2. If you heard wrong, seek clarification.
3. If you heard right, ask if there’s anything else the speaker would like to share.
4. Continue to seek clarification until the speaker says he or she feels heard.
5. Finally summarize what you heard. By then, if you have a different point of view, the person you are talking to it will be open to hear it.
