Be Mindful when listening and talking.
Can you pay full attention without agreeing or disagreeing, or planning what you will say when it’s your turn? Can you suspend judgement? When talking can you just say what you need to say without overstating or understating? Can you listen to what you are saying whilst you are speaking? In the present moment there is only one speaker and one audience. Can you create this space when you connect with someone?
