In the world today, having the ability to listen to someone empathically is in high demand. Giving someone the floor to share their story and letting them share their truth while we listen with our whole hearts can be powerful and bring us together.However, certain actions consistently get in the way of allowing our ears to fully open and mouths calmly settled.In this podcast, Adam J. Salgat and Leader of Curriculum Improvement & Development for Our Community Listens, Sarah Weisbarth, discuss what gets in the way in their relationships, how they try to overcome it, and what improving ourselves first could mean for the community we live in and beyond.Four things to do in order to truly listen when others are seeking to be heard:• Stop saying "It'll be ok."• Stop asking questions to serve our own needs.• Stop giving advice.• Stop telling our own stories when they are just seeking to be heard.https://www.ourcommunitylistens.org/
