What you'll hear: News from Maggie What makes a good listener Whether it's possible to listen well when you disagree with what you're hearing Strategies for listening when you're bored, distracted or angry Can I quote you on that? "A conversation is an exchange where you can be giving or you can be taking." Jacey "One thing that makes a good listener is paying attention to detail." Jacey "Any discussion where your goal is to be heard isn't going to be a good one." Maggie "The goal has to be listen first, make a point second." Maggie "Part of being a good listener is giving yourself time to process the information you heard so that you're not reacting." Maggie "Attention is at an all time premium because we have so many distractions. Making space to hear someone is a gift of increasing value."
