Connections 9

The author mentions Dr. Ralph Nichols twice in the passage as an expert and pioneer in listening communication. Nichols is considered to be one of the first scientists to bring attention to the field of listening and its importance in human development. He was a professor at the University of Minnesota, and through his research and writing, an entire field was developed with the understanding that listening is a skill that can be taught, and that learning to be an effective listener can change a person’s life. This is why Nichols is considered a pioneer and has been called the “father of the field of listening.”
