CHATGPT SUMMARY:

The speaker is discussing their experiences with listening and  conversations. They used to work at Nordstrom and spent their 8-hour  shift talking to coworkers about various topics, including alternative  beliefs. The speaker then started reading Jordan Peterson's book "12  Rules for Life" and learned about rule number 9, which states "Assume  That The Person You Are Listening To Might Know Something You Don't."  This changed the speaker's approach to conversations and they started  practicing being a good listener. They would express interest in the  other person's message through nonverbal cues, like nodding and  maintaining eye contact, and would listen to learn instead of listening  to correct or be right. The speaker's coworkers started opening up to  them and sharing personal stories because they felt heard and  understood. However, the speaker mentions a recent conversation with a  coworker where they failed to fully utilize their listening skills. They  let their emotions take over and interrupted the other person, instead  of letting them lay out their entire statement. The speaker realizes now  that they should have summarized what the other person was saying  before bringing up their own points, and is still working on improving  their listening skills.
