Benefits of Mindful Listening

There’s an art to letting go of our own thoughts, biases and assumptions and learning to actively engage with those we are in conversation with.

Leaning into their emotions, tone, pace and body language; focusing on their perspective not just the words being spoken. Ultimately, creating a much deeper connection within your personal and professional relationships.

Next time you’re in a 1:1 conversation, silence or flip over your phone. Give them your full attention and try to paraphrase or summarize what they have said; ask open ended questions for clarity and understanding.

Here are 4 benefits you will receive over time, when you move into a space of mindfully listening:

~ Develop deeper and more meaningful relationships

~ Avoid misunderstandings and conflict

~ Learn from others

~ Gain new insights and perspectives
