Beyond 36 with Kim Kirkley

Welcome to Beyond36 the podcast that asks the question that sparks connection, every day! This is episode 003! Stay tuned for today’s tip, question and quote. But first I will set the table: Do you ever buy a piece of clothing and a little sticker is on it? It might say inspected by 0000 or approved by 009. It’s a quality control tag. Someone did their work and made the garment but before it was released to the world, someone gave it another look to see if it met with the company standards. Some call it quality assurance. Quality control. It is done with clothing. Let’s also do it with our relationships especially in our conversations with the one’s who matter to us most. What is quality control in a conversation it is asking the speaker to double check what you heard. It goes something like, Now the listener is to ask the speaker if s/he understands what has been said. “You believe ___________. Is that right?” Or “You are asking, ______.” Or I heard you say, “_________. Is that right?” How many arguments have you gotten into because of a misunderstanding? This step should help to avoid silly misunderstandings. Be willing to go as deep as necessary so that the speaker can fully express their truth. Because life is change, in this episode I will offer the quote before the question. The quote of the day is: “Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.” REPEAT “Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace.” Here is the question of the day: What is your favorite key moment in your life? REPEAT What is your favorite key moment in your life? After you ask the question, remember to be a good listener. For tips about how to listen effectively tune into Beyond36 Episode 2 and 4!
