S3E17. Listening to Understand Vs. Listening to Respond - a podcast by Peter Margaritis, CPA & C-Suite Radio

Do you listen to respond… or do you listen to understand?
In my introduction to improv, I realized I was not that great of a listener. This was largely due to my inflated ego. To be a good listener, you need to adopt the “Yes, and” philosophy. Instead of pulling a conversation away from somebody else and back onto yourself, you need to add to it. There’s no room for ego.
Active listening is hard. It takes intention, time, and effort. Start working on strengthening your listening skills every single day. As each day passes, you will become closer to becoming a better listener, developing better relationships, and having more significant impact on the world.
