The Art of Talking Less (But Saying More)

Is it just us or does it feel like we live in a culture where talking is valued more than listening?  I'm sure we all have simply wonderful things to say, but if everyone is talking, then who is really listening? 

Join us today as we talk (hopefully not too much) about how listening with the right kind of motivation can really cause our relationships to flourish as we are able to know the people around us better.  Of course, when you know someone better, you will know how to better communicate with them on a deeper level!

We look forward to connecting with you over on Instagram where we're engaging the question of happiness every day!
