Founder and Director of On Stage Leadership Kimberley Davis explores the connection between daring to be ourselves and bravery.

Listen to her speech in this TEd Talk.  

It is important to make connections when you listen and read.  Active listening and reading is a process the reader uses to engage with the subject material.  This is a good reading and listening strategy to use to better understand the text and conversation and the task being assigned to you. It is important to read text and listen to conversations while thinking critically about the material and asking relevant questions.  Active listening and reading also involves understanding what is expected of you.

"ACTIVE" reading stands for Asking questions, Making connections, Tracking down important information, Inferring/predicting, Visualizing and Evaluating and synthesizing.
