What We've Learned About Active Listening

While we can hear, are we really listening? Join Martha and Nina as they discuss what active listening really is, how they have learned to actually do it and why it is so important. Hint: It's about connection. Martha gives some great tips on which questions to ask to really get to know someone and Nina conducts an active listening experiment at a big social gathering. There's also a conversation about Christmas stockings of all things!
