Communication and Silent

LISTEN

Let me ask you: How many of you consider yourself a good listeners?

Did you realize that the word LISTEN contains the same letters as the word SILENT?

Interesting isn't it, especially since silence is such a major part in listening. Many times people listen and can't wait for the opportunity to throw in their own idea or story. Next time you are listening practice silence and acknowledge the story the person is sharing with you. You'll be amazed by the change this simple tool can bring in the conversation.
