Want to make a meaningful difference in the way you communicate with someone today?

Ever wonder how to get your teenager to listen to you more? Would you like to improve your relationship with a coworker? Strengthen a relationship? Ease tension during a misunderstanding?

When it comes to relating with another person, these 3 Steps are the primer – the essential beginnings of taking action once you have a true desire for understanding.

These 3 Easy Steps are derived from very basic principles taught by Dale Carnegie in his award-winning book, “How to Win Friends and Influence People”.

  2. Smile as you look into the person’s eyes.
  3. Listen. Really listen to what they are saying.
