Listening

One of the discussions at our bootcamp for church planting and revitalization centered around we as coaches, being able to listen. The following scripture was shared:

Proverbs 18:13 NIV
He who answers before listening — that is his folly and his shame.

Among those quoted:

Steve Ogne
"He who talks most listens least."

Peter Drucker
"The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn't being said."

The session ended with the question: "What happens when people feel listened to?"
