In your next conversation with a colleague or friend, pause for 3 seconds before responding to ensure you are fully listening and processing their words.
When they finish speaking, take a deep breath and count to 3 in your head before replying.
During that pause, reflect on their point to ensure you understand their perspective before offering your response.
Before tough conversations, pray for God’s guidance to help you listen with love and respond with patience, reflecting His character in your interactions.
