Today we have a guest, Jim Pennington.  We will discuss facts versus "the story we tell ourselves."

In this episode we discuss a couple of problems that can arise between the listener and the speaker.  This completes the discussion on the "process" we can use to have a good conversation or discussion and stay on the right "road."

In this episode we discuss what the responsibility of the listener.  There are less rules to follow, but it is perhaps harder to do than to speak.  

In Part 6 we get to the "how to" part of having a discussion to resolve an issue.  This is very practical advice and "free" counseling.  Listen and then try it!

Homework!  Do it and tell us about it.

In this episode we talk about the "how to" of listening and communicating.

More talk about choosing the right path.

In episode 3 we continue to explore how to interact with others.  And today, we learn about a better path.  This is free counseling.  Take advantage!

In this episode we discuss the path that we do not need to take.  It is the path of self-protection.  We employ various strategies such as control or indifference to protect "me" so that "I win."  But, in the end we lose with these strategies!

How did you do on your listening test last week?  This week we begin a discussion on how to not only listen, but also how to respond.  There are two paths we can take.  One path is where human nature leads us.  The other path goes against out nature but is the better path to take.  Let us know your thoughts after listening so that we can all learn from each other.
