  Most people do not listen with the intent to understand. Most people listen with the intent to reply.
  -Stephen Covey

  Ask yourself if you’re truly listening to others or if you’re being distracted by your own chatter. Listening means staying silent to give others a chance to talk, soaking it in, then responding if needed.
