Listen Later
In this episode Kelly talks about the importance of communication and putting your ego aside in order to nourish relationships. Speaking without ego is so you don’t make enemies everywhere you go and call attention to yourself, and then listening without defense means you can listen to someone who maybe you have offended in a way that will cause your relationship to be better and improve as you get into new territory with these people by being open minded and learning to listen without taking offense, or launching a campaign to defend why you were right and they were wrong. As you put these principles into practice that Kelly discusses here, you’ll find that your relationships and even success in business and networking begin to improve.
