Ernie and Renie have been married for some 74 years (see article, below), say they never argue and that their disagreements are resolved by talking. Good for them!

I think what is unsaid here is that they also listen to each other. So often, in business and in personal communications, everyone is so keen to put their own point of view they forget the importance of also listening to the other point of view.

Give some thoughts to your own conversational style. When you are having a conversation, do you really listen or are you just getting your next comments ready while someone else is talking? Do you like to be really listened to or talked at?
