IT’S THE UNIVERSAL WISH WHEN WE OPEN OUR MOUTHS. WE JUST WANT TO BE HEARD. AND
REALLY, IT SHOULDN’T BE THAT COMPLICATED, ALTHOUGH IT GETS THAT WAY, USUALLY BY
OUR OWN DOING. WE PICK THE WRONG TIME OR PLACE, FORGETTING OTHER PEOPLE HAVE
LIVES AND BUSY SCHEDULES. OFTEN, WE’RE GUILTY OF TRYING TO FORCE OUR MESSAGE ON
UNRECEPTIVE EARS. WE START RAISING OUR VOICES, INTERRUPTING, AND FINISHING OTHER
PEOPLE’S SENTENCES. IT HAPPENS. BUT IT’S NOT EFFECTIVE AT ALL. SO, HOW CAN YOU
AVOID THESE TRAPS AND GET THROUGH TO PEOPLE? IT’S ABOUT ADHERING TO A FEW BASICS
— AND BEING CAREFUL NOT TO “KITCHEN SINK” YOUR CONVERSATION.

TIPS AND TRICKS
WANT TO BE A BETTER LISTENER? PRACTICE QUIETING YOUR MIND.
LISTENING CAN BE VERY DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY WHEN PEOPLE ARE TALKING TRUTHFULLY
ABOUT EMOTIONAL TOPICS. BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVEN’T SORTED THROUGH EVERYTHING THEY’RE
THINKING AND FEELINGS, OFTEN THEIR WORDS COME OUT SLOWLY OR A LITTLE JUMBLED.
WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO WORK THROUGH WHAT THEY’RE FEELING REQUIRES A LOT OF
PATIENCE AND SELF-CONTROL. YOUR MIND WILL WANT TO WANDER AWAY FROM WHAT THE
SPEAKER’S TALKING ABOUT AND TOY AROUND WITH EASIER, FASTER-MOVING, MORE
COMFORTABLE THOUGHTS.
FIGHT THAT IMPULSE TO RETREAT INTO YOURSELF AND LET THE CONVERSATION BE ABOUT
YOUR PARTNER. “EFFECTIVE LISTENERS TAKE THEIR EGO AND PUT IT ON THE SHELF,” SAYS
LESLIE SHORE, AUTHOR LISTEN TO SUCCEED. “THERE’S ALWAYS A FILM OF EGO THAT GETS
ALL OVER WHAT’S COMING INTO YOU AS A LISTENER. THIS IS WHERE THE BIGGEST AMOUNT
OF PRACTICE IS NEEDED. THE WAY YOU KNOW THAT’S HAPPENING IS THAT YOU HAVE MIND
CHATTER. THE MOMENT THAT YOU HAVE MIND CHATTER, YOU NEED TO PUT THE EGO ASIDE
AND START LISTENING.”
