Are you Listening? Are you Understanding?

"We do not see through our eyes alone."- David Ulrich

What a profound thing to note AND what a practical one!
From my experience as a coach, facilitator, manager, marketer and just as a simple human being: we tend to trivialize what is meant by "seeing".
To "see" someone, in my view, is to "experience" someone, it is not a technical process of vision but a process in which we gain information on many levels.
In many, many cases, we are not really listening at all, busier with our own "rebuttal" of what is being said, "checking in" with our own knowledge, values, "safety- comfort zone"- perhaps our own "ego"- to make sure that what is being said is matching up with how we view the world, the business, the issue at hand. 
Yet, to me understanding is a much deeper experience than only seeing (ie, vision) and what is really lacking is more an understanding of what is happening to the other person, less obsessing in what is happening to us.
Can you imagine what our organizations would look like if we listened better, understood more and actually became adept at "seeing" ?
