The Art of Communication
“involves having something in common”

ACTIVE LISTENING
Learn to see, hear, and feel in the same way the other the other person sees, hears, and feels.
Reflect back to the other person what you understand them to be saying. (Be careful not to change the meaning of what someone says by paraphrasing what you think they said)
Clarify what the other person is saying by asking questions:-
Seven serving men:
