Sometimes the small act of listening is the greatest gift we can give!
Last week I received a message on the above in one of the many WhatsApp groups. After being in Sales for many years, had made me speak more and listen less. However, the last few years of my Entrepreneurship journey and off late attending so many Seminars have made me realize the importance of listening more. I believe with technology constantly influencing our lives, we can protect our most vital and important relationships by Listening. In today’s fast-paced world, our ability to stay in touch with all has conveniently been reduced to text messages that can easily result in misunderstandings and hurt feelings.
I am sharing few of the many conversations in the recent past which I enjoyed the most, is one with our Advisory Board Member where he actively listens more, gives me strategic insights and help me clear the clutter in my mind. Another conversation which I enjoy most is with my Dad where I happen to listen more of his experiences, his journey so far, his feelings. I think these are the gifts you get/give when you Listen. Listening can be hard work. If we keep one eye on our computer, TV, or cell phone while we are talking with people, we silently scream a lack of interest in what they are sharing.
Listening is a simple and effective way to ensure good communication. Listening can help us close the communication gap in our personal and business lives. When we are not getting our message across or sense frustration in someone else, we can listen to each other and easily get back on track. Listening helps us slow down and work toward mutual understanding. A solution usually presents itself during the process of both people cooperating to Listen to each other. Give your family, your business, your friends the *Gift of Listening.*
Happy Sunday!! Keep Moving & Smiling!!🏃🏽😊
