If you'd just listen

When we meet people who really take the time to be present and focus on what we are saying, we feel heard.  It is very telling when you are speaking to someone who keeps looking over your shoulder or somewhere else that they are not fully present or paying attention to you. 

Listening does not teach you about the people you interact with but it helps you gain wisdom and knowledge about the world around us. Listening skills also applied to managing the fast paced every changing world of social media. When a person is actively listening to a speech can be as tired as the person delivering it, because it take effort to absorb and try to understand what someone is saying.

Engage in active listening and there it goes.
