💡How Important is Listening? Not talking does not mean you are listening. We think about what we have to say, how much to say, and how best to say it. We invest so much in talking that we sometimes treat the time when we are not talking as a rest break. Instead, active listening, investing ourselves in what others are saying, is the only way we can learn from others and adapt what we have to say to correspond to the other person’s perspective. “Good talkers tend not to be good listeners. Indeed, people who think of themselves as good talkers tend to rate themselves as extroverted, while good listeners rate themselves as introverted. Good listeners are 60 percent more likely to try to put themselves in the other person’s place – trying to see things through their perspective.” Paul © ATS, Theodore T Landgraf 💫What are you feeding your mind today?
