Do you really listen, or are you just waiting to reply? Habit 5 – Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey teaches the art of empathetic listening. It’s about listening with the intent to truly understand the other person — not to respond, argue, or fix. When you understand first, communication becomes deeper, stronger, and more effective. Master this habit and watch your relationships transform. #7Habits #SeekToUnderstand #EmpatheticListening #StephenCovey #CommunicationSkills #RelationshipGoals #EffectiveCommunication #PersonalGrowth
