A few days ago, a friend of mine asked me the exact
same simple question three times within one ten-minute conversation. The third
time she asked me the question, she also said, "I know I've asked you this
question already several times, but I have so much going on inside my head that
I can't remember your answer." We have all experienced this type of interaction
in some way with our teammates, peers, colleagues, friends, and family. Often
during interactions, we are consumed by inner chatter as we prepare for what we
will say when the other person stops talking or as we think about something on
our "To Do" list.
Turn down the volume on your inner chatter. In fact, when you truly want to
listen to someone, turn your inner chatter OFF. When you do this in the
workplace, with your colleagues and team members, it can have an incredible
impact. To see for yourself, try it out for one week during every interaction
you have with members of your team. Key learnings will be abundant,
relationships will grow, and you will truly be wearing your listening ears!
