Leader in Me:  January Habit of the Month
TIP OF THE WEEK:  Clearly presenting my ideas and working hard to understand another person’s ideas will make my communication more successful.

Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood:  I listen to other people's ideas and feelings.  I try to see things from their viewpoint (paradigm).  I listen to others without interrupting.  I listen with my ears, my eyes, and my heart.  I am confident in voicing my ideas.
