A quote to take away: Beverly shared, “I know I've been guilty in the past of thinking that I'm listening to someone, and I'm forming a response that may or may not really be in the moment. So, I think that the challenge sometimes is to, as Shannon said, be present, be actively present.”

Thanks for listening!
