Top 5 Listening Tips from Jeffrey Gitomer

Some sound advice on "listening" from Jeffrey Gitomer which I find worth repeating for my readers, as well as my own reference:

1. 1. Listen with the intent to understand. A sermon. A movie. In a classroom.
2. 2. Listen with the intent to take action. Someone giving instructions.
3. 3. Listen with the intent to learn. A teacher. A trainer. A seminar leader.
4. 4. Listen with the intent to enjoy. Music. Sounds of nature. Waterfalls. A crackling fire.
5. 5. Listen with the intent to remember. Driving directions. A website address. A phone number.
