Empathetic Listening vs. Dismissive Listening: Let's talk about the power of truly hearing each other out. Empathetic Listening: It's not just about hearing words, it's about understanding feelings. It involves actively listening, validating emotions, and showing genuine care and concern. It creates deep connections and fosters trust and empathy in relationships. Dismissive Listening: Ever felt brushed off or unheard? Dismissive listening shuts down conversations. It's about waiting for your turn to talk rather than truly absorbing what the other person is saying. It dismisses emotions and diminishes the speaker's experience, leading to misunderstandings and resentment. Let's strive for more empathetic listening in our interactions. It's not just about hearing, it's about truly listening and understanding. #Empathy #ListenToUnderstand #CommunicationSkills #Ok2Ask4Help #Counseling #SelfCare #Anxiety #Healing #MentalHealthMatters #Wellness #Mindfulness #Health #Stress #Motivation #Trauma #Coaching #Education #Recovery #Family www.eluccc.org

Certainly! I've actively focused on improving my communication skills, which has had a big impact on a lot of different areas of my life. I used to have trouble expressing myself clearly at first, especially in stressful settings or during conversations that were emotionally charged. I started to see a number of positive changes in my life as I committed time and energy to developing my communication abilities. The improvement of my connections on a personal and professional level has been one significant effect. My relationships with friends, family, and coworkers have improved as a result of my increased ability to communicate myself effectively and sympathetically. Open and honest communication, in my experience, builds mutual respect, trust, and understanding—the cornerstones of happier, healthier relationships. Furthermore, improving my communication abilities has increased my efficacy in a variety of work environments. I now feel more secure and able to express myself clearly when I'm leading team discussions, presenting ideas to coworkers, or negotiating with clients. Effective communication has enabled me to favorably impact people, promote teamwork, and attain superior results in my professional pursuits. Better communication has also resulted in increased emotional intelligence and self-awareness. I've grown more perceptive to the needs and emotions of people around me by learning to actively listen to others and pay attention to non-verbal clues. I've been able to handle disagreements more skillfully, clear up misunderstandings, and forge closer bonds based on empathy and understanding because to this increased knowledge. In general, honing my communication abilities has been a life-changing experience that keeps improving both personally and professionally. It has given me the courage to face issues head-on, engage more fully with people, and make a significant contribution to productive exchanges and results #ConnectThroughWords #DialogueMatters #SpeakFromTheHeart #ListenToUnderstand #BridgeTheGapWithCommunication

Listening well to others and approaching conversations with an attitude of humility transforms conversations about controversial issues. We have all been wrong about things in the past. We are all still learning. We all make mistakes, get things wrong sometimes, and need help from others. May the way we treat people in conversations show them a spirit of gentleness, patience, and humility even when we make arguments to defend what we believe.

Ever noticed how sometimes, we're already forming a reply before we've fully heard the other person? 🤔 Stephen R. Covey pointed out, 'Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.' This hits home when interacting with our StarKids, where every conversation is a bridge to deeper understanding. Let’s challenge ourselves today: listen to truly hear, not to respond. What’s one thing your StarKid shared today that made you see the world through their eyes?

Which do YOU do more of, listening or asking a question? Do you think that there is equal power in listening, as there is in asking a question? Let’s talk about the power of not just listening —truly listening — to understand what others need, whether in life or in entrepreneurship. But also, taking the time to ask the right questions. It’s not just about hearing words; it’s about tuning in to the deeper meaning behind them. Here’s why this approach is crucial in business: 1. 🔸 Builds Stronger Relationships: By actively listening and empathizing with others’ needs, you forge stronger connections and build trust. According to research, businesses that prioritize relationship-building are more likely to retain customers and foster loyalty, ultimately driving long-term success. 2. 🔸 Drives Innovation: Listening to your customers, employees, and stakeholders uncovers valuable insights and ideas that can fuel innovation. When you understand their pain points and desires, you’re better equipped to develop products and services that meet their needs effectively. 3. 🔸 Increases Problem-Solving Ability: Effective listening enables you to identify and address challenges more efficiently. Whether it’s resolving customer complaints, improving internal processes, or navigating complex business decisions, understanding the needs of all stakeholders allows for more informed problem-solving. So, let’s commit to listening not just with our ears, but with our hearts and minds, and moreover, taking the time to ask the right questions.

Speak up, listen in. Together, we break the silence on mental health. #endthestigma #listentounderstand #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthawareness
In light of a recent conversation, I wanted to share some thoughts on the importance of respecting each other’s experiences and boundaries when discussing mental health. We often come across many well-intentioned people who offer advice or share their perspectives based on their own experiences. While this can be helpful, it’s also vital to remember that our personal journeys with trauma and healing are deeply individual. I was approached by someone who, from a place of concern, believed I might be struggling with the same issues they were. While I appreciate the intention to connect and support, it’s crucial for us to listen and not impose our narratives on others. Each of us has the right to understand and process our experiences in our own way. If someone confides in you or if you’re reaching out to someone about their mental health, it’s important to listen, to offer support, but also to respect their own understanding of their mental state. We can provide resources, suggest seeking professional help, but at the end of the day, we must respect each other’s autonomy in dealing with our mental health mine as you can see will only ever be using my body and methods of training and nutrition as for 20 years it’s given me resilience strength and courage So Let’s be a community that listens more than we speak, supports more than we assume, and respects each individual’s journey towards healing. #MentalHealthAwareness #Respect #HealingJourney #ListenToUnderstand #sxefit #pride #support #waveringsupport

With Mother’s Day approaching, I feel my heart in such a unique spot to connect with women. I have an incredible mom, she’s here, living and I am so grateful. I have 3 wonderful boys that call me “Erin” and I treat as my own sons. I have experience of the pain of a waiting season when my heart so desperately sought motherhood. I have experienced the heartbreak of losing a child to miscarriage. I have experience joy beyond measure with the birth and daily blessings of my own perfect miracle daughter. So maybe you feel yourself dreading Mother’s Day because of the pain and loss it brings you or maybe you’re rejoicing because you get to celebrate your mom and as a mom OR MAYBE you’re like me, you’re feeling a little of BOTH. All your emotions are good, my friend. You are not alone. If sharing would help ease the burden you feel, please reach out. Ladies, let’s be aware, mindful and understanding of women in all stages this week and be compassionate, empathetic humans. So many are fighting silent battles and could use an extra hug or connection. Be open to showing love with extra intentionality this week. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted.” Psalm 34:18 “He will delight over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:17 #mothersday #miscarriage #bonusmom #stepmom #motherhood #showlove #listentounderstand #loveoneanother

Forgiveness is not about excusing or condoning what happened; it's about choosing to transcend it. It's a powerful act of liberation, releasing the hold that hurt or resentment has on our hearts. By forgiving, we reclaim our power and refuse to let past wounds define us. It's a decision to rise above bitterness and embrace healing, allowing ourselves to move forward with grace and compassion. Let forgiveness be the bridge to peace and freedom, both for ourselves and for others. 🕊️💖 .... #RelationshipWisdom #EmpathyFirst #ListenToUnderstand #relationships #relationshipissues #relationshiptips

👂 Is anyone really listening???🐻 🌐 In this whirlwind world, it's true, we're often drowning in a sea of information. It's like we're on a never-ending treadmill of news, opinions, and chatter, trying to keep up. But in the midst of all this, how often do we truly listen? 🤔 👥 Listening is an art, one that seems to be fading in the background noise of our ego's defenses. It's not just about hearing words; it's about understanding, empathizing, and holding space for others. It's about being present. 💗 🛡️ When we listen to respond we're often on the defensive, it's like we're just waiting to jump into attack mode. 🙄And as for whataboutism? Let's just say it's off the table. It's like a magic act that diverts your attention. Let's drop that act, shall we? 🚫 It is just a no-go. It's a sneaky and manipulative. Not cool. ❌ 🌟 So, as we step into the fresh breeze of May, let's make a pact, shall we? 👂🏼Let's practice the power of listening. Let's encourage each other with phrases like "Tell me more," "Say more," and "What do you think?" 🗣️ 👂 Remember, we've got two ears and one mouth for a reason. It's time to use them proportionally. #ListenToUnderstand #MindfulCommunication #HeartfeltListening #BeyondTheNoise #EgoCheck #WhataboutismNoMore #MayWeListen #TwoEarsOneMouth #TheListeningChallenge
Communication is the lifeline of any relationship because it fosters understanding, trust, and connection. Without effective communication, misunderstandings can arise, leading to resentment and distance between partners. To improve communication in a relationship, try active listening, expressing thoughts and feelings openly and honestly, practicing empathy, and being willing to compromise. Additionally, setting aside dedicated time for meaningful conversations can strengthen your bond. #RelationshipGoals #CommunicationIsKey #HealthyRelationships #LoveAndUnderstanding #EmpathyInAction #ListenToUnderstand #OpenCommunication #BuildingTrust #StrongerTogether #CoupleGoals
- People often argue in their relationships when they fail to listen and prioritize understanding. * Did you know that arguments stem from a lack of active listening and empathy towards each other's thoughts and feelings? - Let me paint this picture for you 😊 ○ Imagine you're in a rowboat with your partner, navigating the waters of your relationship. 🚣♀️ When you argue, it's like rowing in opposite directions—going nowhere nor fast, and on top of that you are creating waves that rock the boat. We all know how that feels, don't we? - To steer in sync, you need to pause, put down the oars, and really listen to each other. It's not about winning the rowing race; or who is right or who is wrong. It's about rowing together and arriving together, at that place of mutual understanding and love.🥰 Lower those defenses and remember, you're on the same team😊 #relationshipgoals #relationships #relationship #listen #fullypresent #listentounderstand #love #respect #vulnerability #kindnessmatters #kindness

Let's talk about the "super-communicators". They know how to bond with others, match their openness, and discover common ground. You'll find you probably share values, beliefs, or experiences. Communication: It's how we connect in real life—ask about feelings and follow up with your own. I call this the PPDF method 😊 (Prepare, Prompt, Deepen, Follow) - Prepare: You can write down topics before chatting to ease nerves and keep things smooth. - Prompt: Use questions about personal experiences or decisions to spark deeper convos, like "What led you to your career choice?" - Deepen: Ask about beliefs or experiences for richer talks, like "What do you like about your neighborhood?" - Follow: Keep the chat going with follow-up questions to show you're listening. Bring those open-ended questions on and remember to demonstrate your active listening. #communication #listentounderstand #activelistening

As you listen, your mind is already drafting your response, itching to jump in. We have all done it, this rush to speak, to assert ourselves, to be heard. But in our eagerness to contribute, we often miss the subtleties—the pauses filled with emotion. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻? Because listening, truly listening, is hard. It requires us to set aside our own agendas, our inner monologues, and be fully present in someone else’s story. It demands vulnerability—to open our hearts to another’s joys and pains, without rushing to fix or judge. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻? It starts with a simple shift—a willingness to be humble, to embrace the discomfort of silence, to hold space for another’s truth. It’s about responding from a presence that says, “I’m here, I’m listening, I care.” I’m sharing this, this week as it’s maternal mental health week. But this post is just as important for paternal mental health too. How often are parents truly listened to. Often all parents need is someone to listen rather than offer a solution.

Listening is something that sounds simple, but is more complex than most believe. Often times we are moving so fast we just want to respond, which robs us of understanding the sender. If you want to improve your relationships, listen to understand #ListenToUnderstand #BePresent

In the quiet between words, a space unfolds, A moment to listen, as the story is told. Not with the rush of a river in spate, But gentle like dew in the morning’s first state. Words, like arrows, can wound or can mend, Depends on the bow and the message they send. Yet oft we forget, in our haste to defend, That not every word is an attack to contend. Pause for a breath, take a step to the side, View not through the lens of hurt or of pride. What if we listened, truly heard what’s inside, The fears and the hopes that others might hide? Communication, a bridge we can build, Not with stones of retort that the heart has willed. But with beams of compassion, understanding, and care, Structures that last when we’re willing to share. So next time you feel that a battle draws near, Remember that peace starts with listening, not gear. In the stillness that comes when we choose to hear, Lies the path to connection, heartfelt and clear. Today, pause before you respond. Listen not just to respond, but to understand. In the silence between words, discover the peace that understanding brings. #ListenToUnderstand #CommunicationIsKey #EmpathyMatters #MindfulListening #BuildBridgesNotWalls #PeacefulConversations #HeartfeltConnections #WebsitePraktijkEngel.eu
In the end, we are all the same. We are all humans. We all have dreams. We all have feelings. We all want the same. Opportunities. Freedom. A happy and safe life. We are just born in different places of the world (that we didn’t choose) with different passports (that we didn’t choose). Sometimes in places most don’t even know or ever heard of. Speaking languages few understand. But still. Deep down, we are all the same. Ever had perceptions about places you’ve never been? Perceptions about people you’ve never met? Perceptions about lives you’ve never lived? I grew up as a kid with privileges and opportunities I took for granted that other kids around the world haven’t experienced for just one single day. That’s not fair. We can’t change that, but what we can do is try to give back. In the end, life is not about how much you take. It’s about how much you give back to others. The highest form of knowledge is empathy. Listening to understand, not to speak. Love is the answer. Love over fear. Love over hate. Love over separation. Love over walls. Love over war. Always. These are just a few of the life lessons I’ve had and principles I try and will continue to live by. #limitationsareperceptions #lessonsoflife #loveoverfear #empathymatters #listentounderstand #lifeprinciples #weareallhuman #weareallinthistogether #life #purpose #empathy #humans #dreams #dreamers #brazil #brasil
"Make meaningful connections with others" is more than just a statement; it's a call to action that embodies the essence of human connection. In a world where digital interactions often overshadow genuine face-to-face connections, it's crucial to prioritize meaningful relationships that enrich our lives in profound ways. Every meaningful connection starts with empathy, understanding, and a willingness to listen. It's about seeing beyond the surface and truly connecting with someone on an emotional level. Whether it's a deep conversation with a friend, a heartfelt moment shared with a loved one, or a new connection formed with a stranger, these interactions have the power to transform our lives. When we make meaningful connections, we not only enrich our own lives but also contribute positively to the lives of others. We become part of a network of support, compassion, and mutual respect that fosters growth and happiness. So, let's challenge ourselves to go beyond superficial interactions and cultivate meaningful connections with the people around us. Let's listen more, empathize deeply, and cherish every moment spent connecting with others. #Connections #Empathy #HumanConnection #ListenToUnderstand #Emotional #AuthenticRelationships #ConnectWithCompassion #BuildingConnections #HeartfeltMoments #Connections #CherishEveryMoment

What do these ⤵️ have in common? 🧐Questioning our beliefs 🧐 Learning new things 🧐 Listening to the opposite view point to understand why someone thinks/feels that way ➡️ These all EXPAND our mind! Why am I so passionate about this? Because expanding our mind always leads to good things! Sometimes we just don’t know what we don’t know. And being open to hearing others perspectives, point of view, and reasoning can open our minds to things we have never thought of before. Remember, being open to understanding an opposite view point does NOT mean you have to agree with it. It means you can now understand where that person is coming from. 👏🏻 Never stop learning. Never stop questioning your own beliefs and how they were formed. And never stop listening to understand. #listentounderstand #expandyourmind #expandyourawareness #listentoothers #questionyourbeliefs #questionyourthoughts #learnnewthings #learnnewskills #stretchyourlimits #stretchyourmind

In any relationship, whether it's with a partner, family member, friend, or colleague, the key to harmony lies in the art of listening. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. This timeless principle reminds us to prioritize empathy and compassion in our interactions. By truly listening to others—without judgment or interruption—we create a space where trust and understanding can thrive. When we take the time to understand someone else's perspective, feelings, and needs, we cultivate deeper connections and foster stronger relationships. So, let's embrace the power of listening, and watch as our relationships flourish with mutual respect and understanding. 💖 #RelationshipWisdom #EmpathyFirst #ListenToUnderstand #relationships #relationshipissues #relationshiptips
