𝗡𝗶𝘁𝗶 𝗡𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗷𝗮𝗵: “I think listening is one of the most underrated skills in the world. We don't ‘listen to listen’. We're often in our heads, we listen to respond, we listen to react. The most common response that we have as human beings is to jump in, interrupt, and not even wait for the other person to take a breath.

Subconsciously, we listen to connect with our own story or to segue way into some other topic.

We often feel responsible for keeping the conversation going. When I listen to listen, I tell myself 'I'm just going to be here and empty my mind out of all of my stuff. My purpose ‘in this moment’ is to just be here. I don't have anything to say, unless this person invites me to say something'.

Listening is so important. I can remember the times when I felt deeply connected. Being vulnerable was easy. Those were the moments where people had been able to really listen.

Silence is golden and unfortunately as a listener, we often fill in the silence because it makes us uncomfortable.”
