#ListeningRedefined
 
Say what you think, then be quiet and listen. This is harder than it sounds because it’s not just about keeping quiet—it’s about quieting your mind.
 
Often, we’re busy thinking of our next response instead of fully engaging with what’s being said. You’ll know you’re listening when you focus on understanding the message and asking questions that lead to more profound clarity instead of forming an automatic response.
 
Listening then becomes a powerful process of mutual discovery, in which you and the other person can gain new insights together.
