I have discovered that listening wholeheartedly is a very important step in communicating. Listening to give a verbal response is not the purpose of communication. Listening is important to understand someone and their situation in order to help them and respond well. Listening is part of being open-minded. I hope to continue learning to communicate with others in a way that I can listen to them properly and be open-minded to their ideas that are different from mine. Sometimes others have ideas that I would never have thought of and being open to other ideas and trying ideas from those around me can help lead to a better experience. It is important to recognize and learn to use core values. A person's core values ​​can tell you a lot about them. As a person learns more about those around them or even about themselves, they can grow. Growing up can bring more core values ​​to light. Core values ​​can help us achieve more in our personal lives as well as in a work environment. I hope to grow more and learn to be a better leader through excellent communication and making sure I implement my core values ​​in my life. In order to be the best person as well as the best leader possible
