We’re not always aware, nor do we always listen to the inner
self. Listen for those little pings from The Universe. They are priceless.

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.
In person: Learn to be an Attentive Listener. Your attentive listening honors and respects another. Basic Tips: Face your partner, make eye contact and show that you’re following along with a nod or an “I see…” and no interrupting.
Mother Nature gave you two ears and one mouth. There’s a huge clue there. The rule of thumb is to listen twice as much as you speak. In business your customer, prospect, client will tell you everything you need to know to help them make a buying decision by asking the right questions and then listening.
