If you gather people, regularly, I will share a gift for you that a dear friend shared with me: Better Conversations: A Starter Guide.
This elegant resources reminds us of how to listen and how to lead. It offers this meaningful reflection, which I know you’ll love:
GENEROUS LISTENING
“Listening is an everyday art and virtue, but it’s an art we have lost and must learn anew. Listening is more than being quiet while others have their say. It is about presence as much as receiving;
it is about connection more than observing. Real listening is powered by curiosity. It involves vulnerability — a willingness to be surprised, to let go of assumptions and take in ambiguity. It is never in “gotcha” mode. The generous listener wants to understand the humanity behind the words of the other, and patiently summons one’s own best self and one’s own most generous words and questions.”
