Active Listening

I think I will reach to Nirvana at the end of this course:)

In the last lesson, we discussed active listening. It is said that if we can not participate to the conversation, it is better to say "not now"

two or three months ago, an organizational change has occurred and I started to work with a new manager. Sometimes, when I wanted to tell something to him, I started to conversation by asking whether it is ok to talk now or not. however, to be honest, I didn't expect to have rejecting answer:) when I recieved this answer, I felt as if being refused... :) ok... from now on I will think that it is for active listening:)

Strategies for needs

I need to determine the right strategies for my needs for my conversations:) I'm trying... First attempt is ok, but I need to have this ability by nature... now I'm trying a lot:)

Needs

Needs...

"Everybody has the same needs. The conflicts are caused by the way that we choose to meet that needs" .. after the class that I have first started to think about this sentence, I realized that some of my negative communication experiences should have been managed better. I decided to think in accordance with this approach. It worked:) I have a better relation with one of my collegues. Because I realized that he didn't act opposite to me, he just try to meet one of his need. Then, I realized it was something situational, not personal...
