Take a listen to Lalita Amos talk on two radical ideas about listening. She is magical.
I hope you take a few minutes to listen to her, and think of the commentary in your mind that creates some of the noise that prevents us from truly listening to the other. You'll learn something--and laugh too. I promise.
Maybe we can all learn to "squint with our ears to really hear what people are saying by listening more deeply and completely." Make your next conversation one that opens you to a "new future."
"What I figured out is that I had had been bumping up against two broad common listening barriers... That is listening for agreement and listening for threat."
