Welcome to the Emotional Connectivity Podcast of the Talent Management Academy.
Clarity through language was the topic last week and Dagmar gave you a few examples and impulses.
Today I would like to give you some examples and impulses with – Listening correctly -.
How do you recognize language that is unclear? Maybe by listening properly… hahaha.
What does it mean – to listen correctly?

Observe yourselve, how often you already formulate your questions or also arrange your own thoughts to it while listening.
Sometimes in a discussion also while the other one speaks already your counterarguments prepares.
Or also the justification, with a feedback.
Without that you have completely understood or sometimes also without that you have completely finished listening.
What the other then still says disappears in the fog of your own thoughts.
As always, the first thing is to be aware of it.
As an exercise, you could write what you have understood next time and then read it out to the other person.
Or you listen with the intention that you can say it back to the other person in your own words, what you have understood.
Then the brain is busy understanding and not primarily with answers.
Observe and practice, listen well and repeat or read aloud.
Have fun in the world with this conscious knowledge.
