Listening isn’t waiting for your turn to talk.
When someone’s speaking, stop planning your reply. Don’t rehearse your next line. And don’t interrupt.
Instead, focus on them fully. Do this and:
👉 They’ll feel heard
👉 You’ll notice more
👉 What you say next will land better
People open up when they feel listened to and understood. That’s when real conversations happen. And it’s when they start listening to you.
Listen first. Then speak with clarity.
Your responses will be better. And so will your relationships.
