Love this!!! I need this! Saved!!!!l Listening skills are so very important. I am a "fixer" and a fast decision maker. Which are great qualities....but self awareness is key. I don't need to "fix" everything. Sometimes friends and colleagues are not calling me to "fix" or help them with a decision. I have to remind myself they called me for a reason. And after they share and wait for me to say something....I ask, for example, "are you venting or are you asking my opinion?" Changes everything 🩷Thank you

Natalie, I totally get about being a fixer and problem solver. That's what made me learn to ask what the person wanted. Warmly, Susan
