BACON will listen when no one else will
We’ve all got ideas, thoughts, and dreams. But we don’t always have someone who is interested in listening to them. It can be gut-wrenching, when we start to share our story and watch our audience look away.
Are they distracted, am I failing to keep their attention, or, EEK, am I just boring?
Most people want to connect with other people that share their beliefs. They want confirmation that their way of thinking is correct. Even when seeking knowledge, we tend to look for and accept thoughts that match our own ideology.
When we know little about a subject, we are more willing to listen to and learn from someone that is credible and trustworthy. Credibility and trust can be earned with logic, emotion, and morality.
So, no one is listening to you? Let’s start with some self-assessment.
If you want to be heard, start by becoming a good listener.
B – Be attentive, be in the now, be present.
A – Ask questions, clarify what they are saying
C – Concentrate and strive to understand
O – Open your mind to new ideas
N – No Judgment while listening. Get the whole story first.
When you show you are willing to listen, you become someone worth listening to.
Listen in and you may pick up some insights on what you are doing right and what you might be doing wrong.
