Module 4 Discussion Board 4 Hear
Step 2: Respond within 24 hours to at least TWO classmates posts from Discussion Board 4.1.
Assume that you are mentoring a co-worker (your classmates) and you're advising them on how
to utilize H.E.A.R. Are there any insights you have that might help them? How does their
experience compare to your experience and those of your classmates' ? Please add or discuss
anything else you think might be pertinent to them. How do you think you and your classmates
can coach others in your workplace (now or in the future)?
Hello Joshua,
It seems that you and your partner had a hard time not using the HEAR method. I too also found
this to be hard because in customers we are taught how to react and listen to issues. I do see how
using HEAR is the best course of action when it comes to conflict. When your partner has issues
at work that day, it seems as though this method would have helped even though the day is
almost done for the. Even though it can be hard at times because you want to react right away.
It’s always best to take one's time before responding and really listen and clarify the issue at
hand.
No matter what comes up, either in business, at home, or even in family matters, it is always
good to practice this method to truly understand the situation, what the true problem is, how to
connect with the person and what you will respond with. No matter how hard it can be, taking
the extra time will allow the fruits it bears to be worth wile.
Thank you

Hello Robin,
Owning a business and being new to it does not seem like something that can be easy. I’m sure
it’s just as stressful as you say it is. I think as you both take this process in; you will become
more familiar with using the HEAR method in many things that you will be doing. I believe with
conflict at work or making proposals or anything that you do will come times when you can
practice this more. At first it can be difficult to really think and do because there are so many
distractions as you stated. It will take a few times, but it will take a lot of focus and centering
yourself to really get it down to where it will come more naturally. I believe, with your husband
also going down the same path as you, it will become a team effort to really hone the skills
needed. So far, it seems you are doing a good job for trying it out. HEAR can be useful for you,
so keep the practicing going and I’m sure you will get there someday soon.
Thank you
