Listening is a skill that comes with baggage. 😮
It works when we have a compelling reason to listen. 😅
However, when we are still engaged in thinking about another topic, feeling stressed, bored, or even under pressure, our listening efforts may fall short of expectations. 😩
Instead of looking to improve your listening skills through training sessions, transfer your existing listening skills that work fine when chatting about holiday plans. 😄
💡 Here are 3 tips on how to listen more effectively when it isn’t that easy:
- Have an objective or set an intention
- Take notes
- Focus on the outcome
