Shhh! It's the best communication secret out there.

"The better I am at listening, the more in flow I get."

One of my brilliant clients said this to me the other day and I've thought a lot about it, since.

So much of communicating is actually about listening.

Stopping, and getting out of your own head and into asking yourself:

🙋 What does this meeting need of me?

🙋‍♀️ What does this organization need from me?

🎁 How can I be a gift to the person sitting across from me?

Is there something they're trying to tell me and I'm brushing over it or not truly paying enough attention?

Listening carefully helps us - maybe counterintuitively - often get what we need, too.

We're better able to understand the true needs arising around us and can take the time to decide how we'd like to respond. 💫
