Speak from the Heart: Chapter 8 – Active Listening: "Enough About Me, Let's Talk about You"
Great communicators have a speaking/listening ratio of about 20/80
percent — they talk less and listen more. They have the patience
to let other people talk and state their point of view before jumping
in. But how? This incredibly important skill is something we’ve never been taught to do. There was no class in school that taught the tools and techniques necessary to become an effective listener (which is a tremendous part not only of being a good communicator, but of reaching your potential professionally and as a human being!) Fortunately it’s never too late, and these skills can be learned with some effort. Becoming a better listener may be the most difficult and challenging part of being a great communicator. To begin, you’ll need to become aware of the kind of listening skills you need, identify where you’re weak, and then practice good habits every day that will slowly undo your bad habits and become second nature.

Non-Profit Spotlight
Based on the idea that through the arts a young person can gain an invaluable sense of personal well-being that will have a life-long impact, GlassRoots is unique in its focus – both on building the skills necessary to create beautiful objects, and reinforcing that foundation with solid business training that allows youngsters to bring these objects into the marketplace. Rutgers University business students have played key roles in the GlassRoots success story. Thus far, several teams of students have helped design early budgets, business and marketing plans, and links to potential community partners, and have forged a strategic alliance with a major glass arts facility in the northeast, the Corning Museum of Glass. Two design students created the GlassRoots logo, and, in fact, the name GlassRoots originated in a fundraising class. Thus, the success of the program credits its origin and its subsequent development through the Rutgers Business and the Arts program. The ultimate goal of GlassRoots is to guide area youth to a path of personal achievement and self-sufficiency, and for the GlassRoots Center to become part of the wider trend toward economic redevelopment and community renewal of Newark through the arts.
