In the nineth component of COMMUNICATES Happily Ever After, we’re going to explore Active Listening.
If you’re into reading or telling stories you know that main characters have situations where listening becomes important. Main characters may have to listen to themselves or others along the way as they go through their journey.
Encountering different people and situations isn’t always easy and so for you, as the main character, you will undoubtedly encounter a person or situation where listening (and we’re talking about active listening) becomes important.
That is just part of being human and the overall human experience.
What do you do when you come across a situation where a person might say to you, “You’re not listening” or “You didn’t listen to what I said”?
