❏ dealing patiently with people who seem slower than I’d prefer

This one is the one I would need the most work on. I'm pretty good at the rest of them because I've worked at being so. I think everyone, myself included, can always work on being a better listener though. I don't have much to add because cgod already said it pretty well:

    I'd say if you start with these three then all of the rest of the goals get much easier. ❏ Understanding my reactions to statements made by others. ❏ Listening to others. ❏ Understanding others. All adding up to understanding others motivations.

Right on the money IMO.
