This week our eText focuses on the difference between hearing and listening. Answer the following questions: Have you ever been in a conversation when you felt the other person tune out? Have you ever found yourself taking a vacation when you were supposed to be paying close attention? Do you find yourself asking other people to repeat themselves frequently? What style of speech holds your attention and what numbs your senses? Discuss a recent positive or negative experience in which effective listening was critical to the outcome of the conversation.
