One of my favorite books of all time is Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People." It's a book about effective communication. Although it was published in 1937 it's lessons still ring true today; especially during these times.
The first chapter is one of my favorites - " If you want to gather honey don't kick over the beehive." In other words you can't tell someone how dumb they are ( for not agreeing with your perspective) yet expect to influence them or even get them to listen to your point of view.
We are at a place in time in our world where effective, compassionate communication is crucial to making real change happen.
We all must do our best to see things from the other's point of view. In this week's episode of The Time Is Always NOW podcast I share with you how we can start having more compassionate and effective communication by listening to understand.
