listen with the intent to reply,

not to understand.”

involving three parts.

words that you hear and devicesmeaning from them in the context of

the entire conversation. Not only do

you develop understanding of whatyou are hearing, information is

communicated to you at this stage.

decision to act on the information

you have understood and perhaps

replying with your opinion or

comments. You may disagree andenter into further conversation to

dig deeper.
