Habit 5 Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood You Have Two Ears and One Mouth…Hel-lo!!
Five Poor Listening Styles • Spacing Out • Pretend Listening • Selective Listening • Word Listening • Self-centered Listening
Genuine Listening • Listen with your eyes, heart, & ears • Stand in their shoes • Practice mirroring
Communication with Parents • Take time to listen and understand your parents. You’ll gain a greater respect for them and you’ll get your way more often. • Begin with small deposits into their RBA – every little bit counts • Then, start asking them some questions like “How was your day?” or “Is there anything I can do around the house?”
Seek to Be Understood • Requires Courage • Think Win-Win: you understand them, help them understand you • Giving feedback is an important part of seeking to be understood
