66. The Gift of Attentive Listening
Like many of the true gifts of life, listening is a simple and free action and yet it is not always easy for those with busy lives. Hence the value of feeling wholly listened to can be priceless. In this episode we discuss the power of attentive listening, what this means for enabling success in ourselves and others, and practical tips for quality questions that unlock un-defensive responses.
Whether on a sales floor or behind a surgery door, whether side by side or via a screen, listening establishes bonds. The moments where we fully listen is the invisible magic that enables genuine engagement, connection and trust. Aim to listen 70% in your next conversation and see the influence it has.
