I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.
Listening allows me to tap into situations much better than talking. Instead of telling someone how it should be I try to ask questions to better understand the goal and quite often the frustrations. It’s helped me become very successful. It’s also something I can forget at times. I can get ranty or preachy about things and that’s when I tend to start losing the person I’m talking to.
