Challenge-1 >> Listen more carefully and responsively.
Listen first and acknowledge what you hear, even if you don’t agree with it, before expressing your experience or point of view.
In order to get more of your conversation partner’s attention in tense situations, pay attention first: listen and give a brief restatement of what you have heard (especially feelings) before you express your own needs or position.
Separate acknowledging from approving or agreeing. Acknowledging another person’s thoughts and feelings does not have to mean that you approve of or agree with that person’s actions or way of experiencing, or that you will do whatever someone asks.
PRACTICE THIS:
- Start by listening more carefully and more responsively - acknowledging the feelings and wants that people express in word and mood.
- Actively acknowledging another person’s experience does not have to mean that you agree or approve.
- Compassionately allow people to feel whatever they feel. People are much more likely to listen if they have been listened to with actively expressed acknowledgments.
