“The single most important key to success is to be a good listener.” - Kelly Wearstler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Wearstler
“Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.” – Karl A Menninger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Menninger
In a TEDx talk about listening, William Ury (co-author of Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement without Giving In) suggests that if we all became better at listening, it might make all the difference for the world and for the future: “What if on radio and TV we had not just talk shows, but listen shows? What if we had not just peace talks, but peace listens? I firmly believe that we’d get to ‘Yes’ a lot more often. We might not eliminate all conflict, but we would avert a lot of fights and even wars.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saXfavo1OQo
Tomorrow, Tuesday, October 25, starting at 6:00 PM, Greg will facilitate a dialogue structured as a “TED-Like Conversation.” It will give us a unique opportunity to enhance our listening and other communication skills.
