1. We don’t LISTEN DEEPLY
1. We don’t LISTEN DEEPLY
“We spend most of our moments when someone is speaking, planning what we’re going to say, evaluating it, trying to come up with our presentation of our self, or controlling the situation.” – Tara Brach

1. We have an AGENDA
”I want to help fix a problem, I want to prove myself, I want this person to take my point of view”
“To listen is to continually give up all expectation and to give our attention, completely and freshly, to what is before us, not really knowing what we will hear or what that will mean. In the practice of our days, to listen is to lean in, softly with a willingness to be changed by what we hear.” – Mark Nepo
• intentionally talk less and listen more
• slow down • try not to interrupt • be patient• repeat back what you've
heard to ensure you’ve fully understood
• Notice your thoughts, feelings and body sensations
