Next time you have a conversation, pay attention to how much of the conversation is you talking vs. the other person talking.

How much listening are you doing?

Aim to do 75% listening and 25% talking.

As you practice this, pay attention to what causes you to jump in with more talking.

Are you filling awkward silences?

Do you tend to get carried away when you tell stories or share ideas?

Think of some ways you can encourage the other person to do more of the sharing.

And always:

As you practice the Art of Listening, look for learners and learnings from everyone and everything. The true gold is not what you already know, but what you don’t know yet.

So, zip it and listen!
