It's tempting to equate listening with compliance. Schools often describe being a “good listener” as sitting up straight, making eye contact, and being quiet while others (often the teacher!) are talking.

Today's guests are Christy Thompson, Caroline Sweet, Santasha Dhoot, Jennifer Orr and Allison Hintz.
