Do you hear what I hear? Maybe, maybe not.
Epictetus, and ancient Greek philosopher is credited for saying: "Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak."
We often fall victim to the 'one-way conversation with two people present' scenario when we are unableto become active listeners. Active listening only happens when we become aware of things like body language, our own filters and biases or our need to communicate our own thoughts.
Dr. Stephen R. Covey addresses active listening this way: "Seek first to understand, then be understood." in his book 7 Habits for Highly Effective People.
No earplugs allowed.
