Are You Really Listening? 7 Barriers to Effective Listening

Are You Really Listening? 7 Barriers to Effective Listening | Consultancy Matters | Scoop.it
Being present and really listening to what others have to say takes patience and practice.

CCM Consultancy's insight:

Listening to someone creates engagement! People come away with a sense that what they have to say is important, and more than that, they understand that they are of value. Being present and really listening to what others have to say takes patience and practice, especially if we have listening habits that keep us from hearing and connecting with others.

I honestly feel that the statement made above is very important especially in the technology driven lifestyles we live today. It’s great again to have the technology and the ability to connect with people all over the world via electronic device however with them being present it has also created barriers that we forget we still face like the lack of personality so to say via text message or misinterpretation because it wasn’t said directly. Hope just that paragraph alone helps you better understand the type of person I am and vision I aim to see.

Hate Saying No? Here’s What To Say Instead

Hate Saying No? Here’s What To Say Instead | Consultancy Matters | Scoop.it

You have three outstanding assignments sitting on your desk, your phone is lighting up with texts from your roommate reminding you of that party you don’t want to attend, and then your boss swings by to ask if you can stay late to help out on seven other tasks that need finishing.

 

Before you can stop yourself, “Uh, sure! I mean, of course,” tumbles out of your mouth. You know full well that you’re unable to handle another thing, but there’s just something about saying no that’s almost impossible to do.

CCM Consultancy's insight:

For many, saying no can feel harsh. But learning to turn down a request is a crucial skill to master. It’s important to create boundaries out of respect for yourself, your time, and your energy–we truly can’t do it all.
