Listening with Mickey Mouse: The Power of Hearing Others Out

by Steel Pencil


In the heart of Disney World, there lies a magical kingdom where all the famous characters of Disney come to life. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and others gather around for an important meeting at Mickey’s Clubhouse. The purpose of the gathering was to discuss the importance of listening and hearing others out.

Mickey started the meeting by sharing a personal experience of how he mistakenly misheard Minnie and ended up offending her. Minnie corrected him, and Mickey admitted his mistake. However, the incident made him realize the significance of listening to others. Mickey was ashamed and wanted to make it up to her by throwing a surprise party that evening.

Donald, on the other hand, had a hard time listening. He kept interrupting others during the meeting, which made the discussion challenging. Goofy tried to explain to Donald that by listening, he could learn something new and understand different points of view.

Later that day, as Mickey planned the party, he overheard Pluto trying to whisper something to Minnie, but she wasn’t paying attention. Mickey intervened, and Pluto shared his idea, which added more fun elements to the party.

All the Disney characters enjoyed the party, and Mickey’s idea of listening brought them closer together. After all the fun, Mickey shared his take away from the day: listening is essential for building trust, empathy, and understanding with others. He urged all the characters to become better listeners, and they all agreed.

Key Takeaways:

1. Listening is crucial in building trust, empathy, and understanding with others.

2. Interrupting others while talking can make communication difficult.

3. Listening can lead to new ideas and broaden one’s perspective.

4. Misunderstandings can be avoided by carefully listening to others.

5. Celebrating with others is a good way to show appreciation for listening and understanding.

“Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don’t listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don’t listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what’s behind the words.” -Roy T. Bennett
