Are You a Generous Listener?

Do you find yourself multi-tasking when someone is talking to you? Are you also

• Deciding what to do over the weekend
• Planning your response/rebuttal
• Catching up on your email

If so, and if you would like to become a generous listener, try the following:

• Put down all you are holding--yes, mentally as well physically
• Look at the person unless it is culturally disrespectful to do so
• Focus your full attention on what they are saying
• Be genuinely curious about what they are telling you

See what difference it makes in your relationships with others.
