Listening? Are you engaged?

Listening is an art that requires attention over talent

spirit over ego, others over self ~ Dean Jackson

Why does this matter?

Good or effective communications are important to us, everyday.

There’s a reason we have two ears and one mouth, you guessed it, we need to listen more before we speak.

Often we are busy thinking about what we are going to say instead of listening to what is being said and missing the meaning.

Tonality of what is being said is 38% of a communication, whilst body language is a whopping 55%, followed by the words at 7%.

I found that amazing and valuable information and now I’m aware of how it affects my conversations.

How can we be better listeners in our conversations?

It involves being curious and building a connection, sometimes referred to as rapport with them.

If we reflect back what is being said, withhold judgement  and only offer advice if asked, then this goes a long way to establishing that connection.

Building mutual trust and finding a common ground is important.

I use this approach with my customers because it’s not about me.

I do not need to know the answers because my customers will figure it out. I provide a “safe” space where they can do that.

Try it and see how your conversations can be more.

Not Good Enough to being Enough

Not good enough to being Enough

Treat yourself as if you are already enough.

Walk, eat, see, look and listen as if you are enough,

because it’s true ~ Geneen Roth

Becoming aware that we can shift our thinking from one of not good enough to being enough is empowering, inspiring and exciting at the same time.
Closely aligned to this is thinking and feeling not worthy and unloved, possibly picked up from earlier experiences when we were younger.

Once we change our thinking to one of being worthy and loving ourselves, our mindset is changed and we can then get curious about what we really want and create a more positive and supporting mindset with more purpose and meaning, to come into our lives. This makes it possible to add and recall success points along the way. Success does leave a trail and it helps to build up the evidence of achieving what you want.

Once we focus more on what we Do want ( rather than what we do not want)  then distractions become less of a problem or barrier to achieving our goals.
Progress towards our desired goals or outcome is more likely and assured.
