60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday: What Might Penguins Teach Us About Conversation?

<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="https://www.experienceweatherford.com/" target="_blank">Weatherford, Texas</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Thoughts on Thursday and your host, Diane Wyzga.</p><p>A man drives into a filling station and asks the attendant to fill the tank with gas. The attendant sees 3 penguins standing on the back seat of the car and tells the man, <i>Hey! You should take those penguins to the zoo</i>. The man says, <i>Good idea</i>! And drives away.</p><p>About a week later the same man returns to the filling station and asks the attendant to fill the tank. The attendant sees the same 3 penguins but now they’re wearing sunhats, sunglasses and beach sandals. He says, <i>Hey! I thought I told you to take those penguins to the zoo</i>!  <i>I did</i>, replied the man, <i>And we had such a good time today we’re going to the beach</i>!</p><p><strong>Practical Tip</strong>: We think we know it all, don’t we? Most of us haven’t heard the half of it when we speak with others. Conversation is a mutual exchange. To have clarity in our conversations let’s begin by asking ourselves:</p><p><i>What did they say?</i></p><p><i>What did I hear?</i></p><p><i>Was it the same, or different?</i></p><p><strong>You’re invited</strong>: “<i>Come for the stories - stay for the magic</i>!” <strong>Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!</strong> Remember to stop by the website, check out the Services, arrange a Discovery Call, and Opt In to stay current with Diane and <a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank">Quarter Moon Story Arts</a> and on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/diane-f-wyzga-QMSA" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>.  </p><p><strong>Stories From Women Who Walk Production Team</strong></p><p>Podcaster: Diane F Wyzga & <a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank">Quart
