It takes a lot of control, doesn't it? I'd love to read your new book. Thanks for the post. You are so right but it isn’t necessarily easy to do. It takes a lot of control, doesn’t it?

I talk about this a lot in my book New Earth Relationships - not just listening, but really giving the speaker the experience of being heard... even if she is attacking you, even if what she's saying seems off-the-wall and/or patently untrue, and validating what is being said - not patronizing, but really getting into the shoes of the speaker.

Do you know how we go to networking events and get 30 seconds to say who we are? Well, the first sentence will determine whether the listeners continue to listen to you and whether you are "memorable" (as Simon Cowell on American Idol would say). The way you sound will be an important part of that decision and seven seconds is about one sentence. As you share more and listen to others, they will further develop their impression of your openness and determine future "approachability." Thanks for the post! Hi Bill,

Now, I've heard (from Malcolm Gladwell's "Blink") that it's pretty much the first three SECONDS that matter most. Thoughts? I love this post.

Yesterday, a patient of mine came to my office. She told me that she had suffered a stroke and now speaks like the Queen Mom, with a strong British accent. She was diagnosed with this syndrome. She had no other side effects. If you would like, I will contact her and ask if she is willing to get in touch with you. Hi:
