EP 16 - Active Listening is Dead

from Not Even Wine With Dinner Hosted by Kristen Crisp

"When you shift the focus back to yourself, you're telling the speaker, "You don't matter." Kristen talks about how the art of active listening is seemingly dead in our society. How we try to talk to someone and the first thing the listener does is flip the script back on to themselves with a "me, myself and I" perspective. This is a topic deep to her heart and something she's actively working on herself. A few bits & pieces: * How active listening is no longer an automatic response *Social media has taken our attention spans to nanoseconds *Not listening quietly tells your loved ones they don't matter Check out the accompanying story on Medium: Life Isn't a Competition - The Death of Active Listening And sign up for the NEWWD newsletter: www.notevenwinewithdinner.com
