Active Listening: How To Connect More by Talking Less - with Orly Israel

How do you know if you’re a good listener? Listening isn’t necessarily a skill that we automatically get better at as we get older. 

This week, I’m talking with my guest Orly Israel about:

1. What makes a good listener.
2. What a Listening Table is and the unique way that Orly tackled his goal of becoming a better listener.
3. Why a lot of us don’t share more with the people in our lives.
4. How different conversation styles might be making your relationships a lot harder.
5. How to have more fulfilling conversations with your friends. 
6. Practical tips for being a better listener.
