Listening or waiting to speak?

Are You Listening or Just Waiting to Talk?”(A Quick Tip)


Here’s your communication cheat code for the day:

Listen to understand, not to reply.

Most of us in conversations are just politely waiting for our turn to speak. We’re formulating our counter-argument instead of truly hearing the other person.

The Practice:
Next conversation you have,try this: Your only job is to understand their point of view so well that you could explain it back to them.

You don’t have to agree. Just understand.

The magic happens when people feel heard. Solutions become obvious. Defensiveness melts away.

Try it. Then notice how the quality of your interactions shift.
