Empathy is the route towards better communication

Effective communication helps you build strong and lasting relationships, but when you misuse communication, you can accidentally cause problems and hurt those around you. So many issues can be resolved with effective communication’ and many problems can be totally avoided in the first place!

To communicate well, you need to use empathy. Empathy is a skill we develop throughout our lives, and it’s the ability to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. You’re able to put yourself in their place, understand how they feel, and respond in a more caring and understanding way.
Empathy is a vital skill, but it’s not one we’re born with. Focus on understanding how others are feeling to build up this key life skill.
Without empathy, it’s not possible to communicate without causing problems. You’re not able to relate to the other person or completely understand them either.

Empathy is something you can develop, but it requires you to put aside your own thoughts for a moment and really pay attention to the other person. Listen, try to understand, and forget about your own needs for a second. By doing so, you’ll notice your communication efforts improve significantly.

Not that many people understand where they’re going wrong when it comes to communication. It’s important to be self-aware and understand that everyone can improve. By learning where you might be falling short, you can put new methods into practice and turn your relationships around for the better.

Did you know? There are three types of empathy: cognitive, emotional, and compassionate. All three work together seamlessly.

Remember the value of the person you’re speaking to

How many times have you been listening to someone, but you’ve found that your mind starts thinking about something else? It might be your to-do list or wondering what you're going to have for dinner, but you’re not really listening to what the other person is saying.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
