Listening as a StrategyListening can…
• Create space for people to share their experiences
• Build relationships across differences
• Support change through interactions with people

Why should I listen to you?
Create space for people to share their experiences and thinking
The brain “remembers” through emotion
![Page 17: HARNEY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #3 · Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business To conserve energy so that it has maximum resources to scan for threats,](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b6e3f3b3e1853bc20bb0f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Memory, Emotions, and the Amygdala
The amygdala interacts with memory‐related brain regions to determine whatmemories are stored and where they are stored.

Why should I listen to you?
Build relationships across differences
The brain seeks to connect with others

The Power of Community“If you want to change a habit, you must find an alternative routine, and your odds of success go up dramatically when you commit to changing as part of a group.” Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit: Why
We Do What We Do in Life and Business
![Page 20: HARNEY COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT #3 · Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business To conserve energy so that it has maximum resources to scan for threats,](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042909/5f3b6e3f3b3e1853bc20bb0f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Support change through interactions with people
The brain uses patterns or “habits” to make meaning.
“Bad Habits” don’t really change.
“Good Habits” or new neural pathways must be created.
Why should I listen to you?

Charles Duhigg, The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business
To conserve energy so that it has maximum resources to scan for threats, the brain reduces most physical and social routines into habits.
The Power of Habit
Habits are carried out at a subconscious level.

• Listen impeccably (90% Listening and 10% Talking)
• Use silence (Wait the extra beat. Resist the urge to fill the silence.)
• Support the talker to solve her/his own problem (Need more clarity…, Literally say, “Say More”)
• Seek to understand (Reflect back what you heard. Try not to interpret.)
People who use listening to effect change:
People have the capacity to solve their own problems

Listening as Healing“Listening is such a simple act. Just be present and practice. We don't have to advise, or coach, or sound wise…If we can do that, we create moments in which real healing is available.” ~ Margaret Wheatley
