Our Story
The Residents’ Council was established to support the residents of Bethany Village. We who are the elected representatives follow a simple set of principles:
- To effectively represent others, we need more than our perspective. We need insights from those we represent.
- Listening is not simply hearing what others are saying; it’s giving them space to contribute.
- Effective listening is about ensuring people feel understood because what they share.
- To be a good listener, leaders need to be curious about others and not simply focused on themselves.
- Being a good listener involves shifting our focus from trying to be interesting to being interested.
