What do you notice about yourself when you are listening to someone? 

Regardless of the problem, there’s no substitute for listening. Sounds simple, but we rarely truly listen.How do we become better listeners? Give a “CRAPO”. Here’s what I mean:1. Clarify
2. Reflect the other person’s feelings
3. Attend
4. Paraphrase
5. Open-ended questions 
Every relationship has flaws. We need to realize that problems won’t just disappear and that talking things out is our only hope for improvement.We must see those conversations for what they are: difficult but necessary steps that help a strong relationship get stronger.

 What are the helpful insights Margaret Heffernan makes?


What are your thoughts about this quote from the talk: 
"So it's one thing to do that in a one-to-one relationship. But it strikes me that the biggest problems we face, many of the biggest disasters that we've experienced, mostly haven't come from individuals, they've come from organizations, some of them bigger than countries, many of them capable of affecting hundreds, thousands, even millions of lives. So how do organizations think? Well, for the most part, they don't. And that isn't because they don't want to, it's really because they can't. And they can't because the people inside of them are too afraid of conflict." 


Are you conflict avoidant? 
Or do you face conflict head on?
