I was once told a story like this: A person, called John, was always the life of the party — telling jokes, talking about his travels, and generally amusing people with stories. While others laughed and sometimes liked to listen to John, he wasn’t anyone’s favorite party-goer to hang out with. One of his friends, Maxine, suggested that at the next party, John should make a change. Don’t talk a lot. Don’t tell stories — just go around and listen to what everyone has to say. John did this, and after the event, Maxine told him that many people had come up to her to say what a “great conversationalist” they found John to be! This story reminds us that everyone has a central focus in life, called me. Whether we like to admit it or not, our world revolves around what we know, what we’ve learned, what we care about, and whether other people seem to care about us. In my full-time job, I always hear people talk about how to present effectively, how to grab the attention of a room, and so on. But one of the key areas that often gets neglected is the art of active listening. In a fast-paced world, we are trying hard to keep up with everything coming in that we need to process. Meanwhile, we are becoming more and more indifferent to the art of focusing on another person, listening to what they have to say, and giving them our full attention which takes emotional and physical energy. There is no greater gift you can give to another person than staying focused on them, working to understand them, and actually putting aside what you’d like to say and do, to instead listen to every word they are saying. If you want to be perceived as a great communicator, a wonderful friend, an esteemed colleague, and a person that others want to be around, start improving your own listening skills. 4.
