Learning to Listen A Quick Guide to Empathetic Understanding

By Chloe Tseung, David Colby Reed, and Lee-Sean Huang

It sounds elementary, but even us grown-ups need an occasional refresher course on how to listen, how to REALLY listen. !

Listening is an essential part of being a good friend, colleague, lover, designer, manager, and PERSON. !

It’s a prerequisite for empathy, creativity, and collaboration.

“The most basic of all human needs is

the need to understand and be understood.

The best way to understand people is to

listen to them.”  !!!

Dr. Ralph Nichols, Co-Author of Are you listening?

“Most people do not listen with

the intent to understand;

they listen with the intent to reply.”

!
