Today’s Transformation – Listen, do you want to know a secret?

When you are in a conversation with someone are you just waiting your turn to talk? Are you really listening to what is being said or are you merely judging and evaluating? The way we listen to others can determine the amount of valuable and insightful information we gain from another.

Consider this example…
On every commercial flight you have taken there is a safety announcement. Mostly we read a magazine, stare out the window and don’t really listen. That’s one type of listening. However, if that same steward started making an announcement in flight about a pending emergency landing you’d listen differently, intently. Why? Because your life depended upon it.

Listen as if you life depended upon it.

By granting someone your full attention when they speak, not only will you learn a lot but you will show the respect and honor to another of your full attention.
