What about making this a listening day?
When you are talking it is impossible to listen.
What about experimenting with listening unless you absolutely have to talk?
If you speak, make it a question!
The most powerful and simple way you can increase the value of another is to fully listen
to him or her.and check for understanding.
Plus it’s free! All it costs is your attention.
Develop Power with Grace.
Asking thoughtful questions is one aspect.
The best questions foster understanding, spark innovation, diffuse negative conflict, and build influence –

Monitoring my internal talking is on my radar big time these days! Thanks for your note! BTW, I’ve moved my Tuesday aikido to 5:30 – 6:45 PM. Seems too dark to wait till 7!
