We all want to be heard. So we focus on talking. But what we need to learn is how to listen.
The old chap who lives next door has several stories to tell, if you’ll stop when you’re putting your rubbish out.
The dairy owner around the corner could probably teach you a thing or two about all sort, if you found out what his background was, and what he’s interested in.
Your kid probably knows what’s going on at school, and what needs to change for them to do better.
And maybe, if you listened to yourself, you’d learn something about how you think that you might not be aware of.
Listen. Connect. Learn.
