I passionately adore listening to people, so love this quote from Harriet Lerner, and, as always, the visual from Sketchplanations.
I also choose to be a Sounding Board as my profession, so I get to do what I love every day.
Some thoughts and tips around how to listen (without the intent to reply, as Master Covey taught us) in an earlier post: “Interrupting is simply assaulting someone’s thinking“.
Oh, and each week I have a thirty-minute conversation with a guest, a podcast recorded live. I love these conversations and seek to find a balance where I am listening deeply to the guest while adding my own reflections and thoughts to then bring more of their own thoughts forwards. I’d love for you to listen live or to some of the podcasts (there are more than sixty in the archive), plus do also suggest yourself or others as future guests!
