I want to be extremely honest with you. As a whole, we suck at listening. Why? Because it takes a lot of self control and focus.
In today's fast-paced world, distractions like smartphones and multitasking divert attention away from the speaker, making it difficult to fully engage and comprehend. Look around, we’re all doing it. Amiright?
Sometimes we focus more on formulating our response while the other person is speaking, leading to incomplete understanding and missed nuances.
We can also have preconceived notions and biases which cloud our ability to truly hear what's being said. We might interpret information based on our assumptions rather than the speaker's intended message.
Don't fret, it’s VERY possible to strengthen the skill and have an immediate benefit to your relationships and organization.
