"Emphatic Listening"
Put Yourselves in the Shoes of Another Person and Practice Effective Listening

Empathic listening is a way of listening and responding to another individual that improves mutual understanding and trust. It's a crucial skill for all individuals, as it enables the listener to receive and precisely interpret the speaker's message, then provide an appropriate reaction.

Empathy and trust are a platform for effective understanding, communication and relationships. Empathy and trust are essential to develop solutions, win and retain business, and avoiding or diffusing conflict.

These days we need to be more effective communicators to be successful in business - and in life. Persuasion, closing techniques, features, and benefits do not build rapport or relationships. Empathy, trust, understanding, and sympathetic communications do.

One-sided persuasion is not sustainable and is often insulting, especially when handling complaints. Trust and empathy are far more important in achieving and sustaining successful personal and business relationships.
