Open Up the Space for Listening

Categories: Communication

listening1 The quality of our listening directly influences and informs the quality of our conversations.

As we open up the space between our thoughts and reactions we can listen more deeply into what is being said. This practice enables us to become more aware of communication filters such as our preconceived ideas and personal agendas.

Try it next time you’re in conversation. Create more space between your thoughts, listen longer, create more space for the other person to communicate their ideas, and see what happens. See also Tom Peters video on Strategic Listening
