Slice of Life Challenge

This has always been a mantra for everything I believe about learning and teaching. We need to listen - not just hear. When we really listen, we are not just taking in what is being said. We watch how it is being said, we pay attention to the body language, and we wait for the words that come from their hearts.
"The most basic and powerful way to connect to
another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the
most important thing we can ever give each other is
our attention."
- Rachel Naomi Remen
