Speak Less, Listen More #084

Words are weapons.

A sharp tongue can either heal or destroy. Too many men talk at 100 mph, cutting people off, proving they don’t value what’s being said — even when they do.

Directive

A Dangerous Gentleman listens fully. He resists the urge to interrupt.

He practices active listening by repeating back or dovetailing from what was said. Communication deepens when pride steps aside.

Action

Ask one meaningful question today. Then listen — truly listen. Let the other person finish.

Resist the urge to prove yourself.

Scripture Focus

“Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.”
James 1:19
