    This is great. I just saw for myself that what I have been dealing with today is listening to the world from threat and all I want is someone to hear me! Now I get why.

    Loved this! What an excellent example of how much we can grow and learn if we open ourselves to truly listening even when the conversation can be uncomfortable. Well done Lalita!

    You are so right on point! The "white noise zone" when we effectively shut people out is nothing short of a (mental) fight or flight! (hence the amygdala reference) Great job!

    This was very helpful to hear (and listen to) the insightful, down-to-earth and well-researched aspects of listening as presented by Lalita Amos. Thank you for reminding how important the skill of listening is for relationships and for creating peace.

      Between listening for agreement and listening for threat, authentic listening doesn't stand a chance. Try that on.
