Learning the Art of Conversation

Submitted by Ashley Dawkins on Wed, 07/14/2010 - 11:53am.

Listening

There were many different topics discussed during this morning's session, all of which were rich and interesting. As a learn and grow in the art of conversation, there are a few areas that I know I must grow in, in order to get the most out of what others are saying. I have been working on the development of my listening skills. It can be challenging for me to listen and process what others say to get the full value of their words. When I hear something that I agree/disagree with I want to jump in and make a comment without fully listening to the rest of what is being said. I like and enjoy how others in the group can grasp the full/better meaning out of what others are saying. Maybe I am just interpreting differently, but I always feel like I am missing something.
