@realchrishoward: Most people think better communication means saying the right thing. Reality is, it starts with stopping long enough to hear something. There's a difference between being in a conversation and being in a transmission. When your brain is already sorting what fits and what doesn't before the other person finishes — you're not listening. You're loading your response. The filter question is simple: is what I'm about to say going to add value here, or just add noise? Receiving is a skill. Most people haven't practiced it once. Save this if you know someone who needs to hear it — or if that someone is you. #ListeningSkills #BehaviorChange #CounselorChrisHoward #CommunicationStrategy #SelfAwareness
