Read the assignment thoroughly before you begin.
Before you attempt the assignment you may want to re-watch the videos on listening.
Dr. John Gottman, in one of his videos on relationships, talks about building love maps. The goal in building love maps is to get to know your partner’s hopes, dreams, memories, etc. Although Dr. Gottman is focused on marriage relationships, this type of activity can enhance any relationship (significant other, friend, parent, child, etc.). The activity requires listening, without judgment, the need to be right, or the need to be the center of the conversation.
This assignment is asking you to choose a person you care about, setting aside time with that person (when and where you will not be interrupted), and asking an open-ended question that will lead to learning things about the person that you don’t already know.
You choose the person, the setting, and the question. Once you have that set up, your goal is to listen to what he/she has to say. You can take as much time as you want. It should be a conversation, but not the type of conversation where your goal is to get your point across. The goal should be to hear and understand the other person. Your input should be geared toward encouraging that person to share.
Upload answers on a word document, share the outcome of listening. Don’t divulge the content of the conversation; talk about the experience. Discuss things like: What did you notice in the other person while you were listening? How did you feel as you listened to the other person? Did anything transpire that you did not expect? Was it difficult to listen without wanting to take over and share about yourself? You may add other thoughts if you would like.the videos are attached :
