How often do you feel truly heard?
Be an active listener. When someone is
speaking to us, it is easy to become distracted by thoughts and external
sounds, such a car horn or other nearby conversations—and by giving in to these
distractions you can miss crucial details from the speaker. Let the person who
is speaking to you know that you are listening by making eye contact and
focusing on the sound of their voice rather than the distractions around you.
Additionally, don’t interrupt someone when they are speaking. Listen, then
respond. Quite often, people are not looking to be “fixed” or for answers and
truly just want to be heard
