LISTENING IS THE CORNERSTONE OF ALL HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
This blog is dedicated to the power that listening unleashes in our lives.
The traditional Chinese symbol for listening (Ling Ting) contains 4 important parts:
Consider what you are doing to fully use each of these parts in your personal and professional life.
- Do you use your EARS and your EYES when taking in messages?
- How much UNDIVIDED ATTENTION do you give to others?
- Do you OPEN your HEART when listening to and with others?
PLANT A LISTENING PAYS SEED: There is always value that comes to you when you listen. You can’t “half-listen”. It’s like a light switch….ON or OFF. You are either listening or you are not.
TRY IT OUT: In each of your relationships today, fully use ALL 4 parts (ears, eyes, heart and undivided attention). Let us know what value that you create for yourself.
