Having knowledge is very powerful! Instead of always having
to talk and/or have the last word, learn to listen more. You will open up your
chances of gaining more insight. Listening is a very powerful tool. Most people
don’t realize it, but listening attentively to a person gives you great
benefits. Here are some examples I’d like to share:
·
You’ll be a better problem solver. Why, you may
ask? Because people who listen attentively hear EVERYTHING, not some things. They
hear and see the full picture.
·
You’ll be a much better negotiator. Why, you may
ask? Because when you’re a great listener, you won’t ever make a deal and/or sign
any contract unless you fully and clearly understand what the other person is
saying.
·
Listening reduces your chances of mistakes and misunderstandings.
·
People like listeners. Think about it! A person
will open up to you more if they know that you can REALLY listen and understand
what they’re saying.
