Listening carefully, actively to someone is one of the greatest gifts we can give. Slow your mind and body, become quieter, hold back on preparing what you’ll say next. Open yourself up in body language and emotionally accept what they feel and need, even if you disagree or can’t seem to help, you’ll be offering more than you may realise.
It’s great you know how to listen well to others. There are fewer skills worthy of learning that build effective relationships.
