Communication Quote by Ginger Lapid-Bogda
““The most important thing a developer can do for a learner is to listen in an active way. This includes hearing not only what is said, but also how it is said and what it means; recognizing, then encouraging or challenging, the learner’s patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, particularly those that support or detract from the learner’s goals and ultimate growth; and having the experience, intuition, and wisdom to know when to just listen and when to say or do something.””
