How can you start being a better listener within your home and family?

In this episode, Jeff, Jeff, and Bill discuss: 

• Finding independence at the age of 12.
• Careful listening - the key to success.
• Attention and listening as a form of generosity.
• Seek first the Kingdom.

Key Takeaways: 

• True listening is not waiting for your turn to speak. It is trying to see the world through their eyes.
• The only way you can understand another person’s reality is to really, truly listen.
• The greatest gift you can give anyone is your time. The only way they know you’re giving your time is by listening and paying attention.
• See people as an individual who needs help, not as a dollar sign.

"Being listened to is so much like being loved that I can’t tell the difference." —  Dr. Bill Hall
