Listen more than you talk

Listening more than talking is especially hard for some.  I want to encourage you to not merely listen, but to intensely listen, fiercely listen.  Listen not just to the words being said, but to the emotions behind them, and to the choice of the words used. Ask questions to clarify, and DON’T assume anything.  Really listen until you have heard and then listen some more.
