When you are speaking with someone, are you listening OR are you getting ready to speak? How do you feel when you are speaking to someone, and you are not yet done talking and they already have their next sentence locked and loaded and even perhaps on its way back to you? Exactly.
If you are getting ready to speak and not listening, you are diminishing the potential value you can create in that conversation. You are broadcasting to the person you are listening to something far less positive than it should be. You are diminishing the potential value you can be creating with your time and ability. It hurts you and them.
By listening you are creating a stronger bond; a firmer connection; you are affirming to that person who chose to speak to you that they made the right choice in choosing you to speak with. Everybody wins when you listen.
Be a good listener.
Spread the word, and make sure they are listening to you.
Wishes for a great day to all,
Hugs too,
