Client Request: I recently attended a seminar where you spoke of "Active Listening". I have been doing this with surprizing results. Will you replay the section on "Active Listening" so I can help my brother understand what I am attempting to do. By the way, until I learned the Reflective Listening Technique you taught me, I never realized how poor a listener I was. Mike J.
Dr. Gap: Here is 15 minutes from the last lecture I did. It is not the one you attended, however, I think you will get a lot out of it.

Conflict style pt 2

Question: "OK, I've done the conflict scale, now what?"

Answer: Now in part two I will help you interpret the scores a little better. you understand the styles, now let's apply them. I'll even use my example to show you how we can understand our partner better. I was having a conflict with Mrs. Eberhardt, so I did the sheet myself for the first time in a while. BAM! it nailed me.

Question: I like the way you explained why none of us are good listeners. The concept of business/work relationships and how the work environment teaches us to get the point and leave out the emotions. I see what you mean when you relate that to family relationsips. Can you upload that section from last week?

Answer: No problem. I am sure you recall me saying "Work Relationships are 90% Facts and 10% Feelings --while Love Relationships are 90%Feeling and 10% Facts. Pay attention to how I explain this metaphor. Tell me what you think, you can listen to the broadcast here, then send me an email. [email protected]
