Weekly Challenge - STOP SELLING!

Great Morning Window Three Challengers!  How was your weekend?  My guess would be that it wasn’t long enough!  However, at least you have another week to challenge yourself, so let’s get to it!  Here is this week's challenge: 

“Unless asked, try to go an entire day without trying to ‘sell’ someone on your ideas and opinions.  Rather, ask them questions and listen to their thoughts and ideas.  Realize that if they want your thoughts, they will ask for them.”

So often conversations are simply two people trying to present their opinions to one another.  Nothing gets accomplished through this self-important interaction, just two people preparing their next ‘point’ they want to make in their ‘sale’ of themselves.  In these conversations, very little listening and understanding takes place.  Now, you can change all of that by being the Level Three that is needed in giving others what they need and want most: to be understood.  It takes a special person to accomplish this task and I know you can do it!  Good luck, and have an ALL-STAR week!
