  • For just one day, try this challenge. Listen more and talk less. Listen to understand. Listen to learn. Listen to empathize. Listen to validate. Listen to connect.
    Don’t worry. You won’t become invisible, powerless or less impactful. In fact, you’ll become more visible. You’ll stand out as someone who cares about what others think, in a world where, generally, people are busy pushing their agenda, selling their ideas or jockeying for position.
    Keeping our mouths shut is hard. So, try these three techniques to listen actively.

    1) mirror the speakers message, paraphrase what you’ve heard
    2) empathy with the speakers emotion, use phrases like “oh I’m so sad about that” “that’s so cool”
    3) confirm that you understand what they mean through their eyes, appreciate what they’re saying and try to show it

      @@beastorjett6084 Eat healthy, sleep well, and exercise. Make lists and reminders to ease stress and anxiety. This should help you focus better. When you struggle to focus and stay on task you talk more to cope with the anxiety it causes. Technically ADHD and ADD are symptoms of other issues and not a standalone diagnosis even though they treat it as such to push the stimulant market instead of rooting out the less profitable core issue. Causes can be as simple as bad sleep or bad vision and as extreme as undiagnosed bipolar disorder.

    Im going to try this for a day, one day at a time. Im the worst person ever to talk to because im an ineffective communicator who has nervous energy and I don't like when there is ANY silence. I started trying to be an effective communicator 20 yrs ago and haven't mastered too many days of being quiet. One day I'll get it, thanks for the video, just one of these days I'll get it.

She is more anxious than i am and it's the only time i'm actually silent during a conversation because she never takes a breath.lol Im 62 been doing all my life so its a very hard habit/flaw to break.

    A helpful tips is to listen to the last sentence someone said and ask them a follow-up question.
    When possible ask a question with the word How.
    Examples:
    How did your meeting go?
    How did you learn how to do that?
    How did that make you feel?
    How long do you have before your next class?

    All the points in this lesson are very important. The most important point to me is paraphrasing what you understood, as this helps to clarify and or correct any misunderstanding. This reminds me of taking a telephone order from a doctor, you always read back the order to make sure it is correct.

    Careful with these tips. For me it bugs me because it feels like talking to a shrink.
    "Oh wow I can see that this hurt you and makes you mad" "oh really that's cool so tell me more...."
    It feels so prescripted and makes it sound not genuine. However I have used it on others and they lite up and happily continue.
    Some people it works on others will tick them off.

  • @user-sh7fg4fq3b
    @user-sh7fg4fq3b Před rokem

    I know when I am not paying attention to what I am doing I tend to cut people off to get MY point across.
    So I am trying to slow down and really listen to what is being communicated to me. Through this I have learned a couple of things about myself. One, if I wait for the other person to finish there isn't as much conflict and two I am a very visual person. If you bring a problem to me verbally I will listen however if I can actually see what the problem is I can usually figure out what needs to be fixed and how to fix it. As far as my clients go empathizing their frustration and telling them that they are right(if they are) and letting them vent before I speak allows the client to calm down and feel heard. Then we can work together to resolve the issue.
    Good Video.

    Taking the challenge of being aware of becoming more of an active listener. Let the other person speak and seek out understanding of not only what they are saying but also what is not being said in words. Emotions are there, just have to pay attention.
