The Patrick Kelly Podcast For Self Development

In this Episode, I will be reviewing the audible book “Seek First To Understand, Then To Be Understood; Habit 5 Of The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People By Stephen Covey. This audible book will teach you how to seek first to understand, then to be truly understood. A Native American Proverb states: Listen or your tongue will make you deaf. Habit 5 is the habit of mutual understanding. I understand you, therefore you understand me. Lessons On Seeking First To Understand Then to Be Understood: Lesson #1: One of our biggest obstacles to real communication, is our tendency to use our own experiences and opinions as models for other people to follow. Lesson #2: Empathy is a form of communication. The keys to listening is with the eyes and with the heart. Do not mistake sympathy for empathy. Lesson #3: Empathic listening is both an attitude as well as a skill. Lesson #4: A habit is the intersection between knowledge, skill and desire. *To find out more about this audible book, Go To: www.audible.com and download this audible book, or go to www.franklincovey.com to find out more information, and other books written by the Author. *Remember To Hit the Subscribe button, as you listen to this Podcast on your favorite Podcast Platform, so You do not miss an Episode, and also remember to please share this Episode via text or email with Friends and Family and other People that You care about.
