Learn to Listen - Bob Hooey
Who speaks, sows; Who listens, reaps. Argentine Proverb
ISBN: 9781370674121
Smashwords Edition
To learn through listening, practice it naively and actively. Naively means that you listen openly, ready to learn something, as opposed to listening defensively, ready to rebut. Listening actively means you acknowledge what you heard and act accordingly.
Betsy Sanders
Former Senior Vice President & General Manager Nordstrom
A special thank you to my amazing wife and partner, Irene, who patiently listens to me as I work out my ideas and challenges on these projects. She hears me and constructively assists me in working through the detours enroute to our success. They are enriched by her input as am I.
