Listening - THE way to build relationships

Oft quoted is the phrase “two ears, one mouth, use in those proportions”. If you want to demonstrate you are really listening, then I would aim for something closer to 80:20. Ask a question and ……… pause. If you’ve just met them, then ask what they do and follow-up to show you are really paying attention. If most people are in the same position, they will flip the question back to you in a fairly short space of time and ask you.



Listening is an activity, not a spectator sport.
