Hi Mark,

I read your articles regularly. There is always so much to learn from each of them. I can relate to your point on 50% ego and the yearning to be listened to. Looks as if you were talking about me!

Thanks so much for these wonderful insights.

Regards,
Parul

Wow….
If only my supervisor could understand this. I tried having a discussion today about things I needed from her in order to do a better job supporting HER and to operate and function more as a team. I hardly got two sentences in the whole time; all I heard was: “I” need this, “I” need that, “I” want this, “I”, “I”, and “I”. I went from being motivated and wanting to improve things for the better to being very “turned off” about my work. Now which would you rather have your employee be? Motivated, positive, and energetic or bitter, distrusting, and totally turned off to work???

10 minutes (I’d even take 5 at this point) of just listening would make a world of improvement.

Mark, so simple yet so powerful. Listening is an art form I am still learning, when I am on my game I ask the speaker what they want from me (as a listener). I am amazed at the times the answer differs from how I like to listen – listen to solve. Bringing attention to the art of listening is especially important now. Great article. I am checking my calendar to attend your webinar. xo Marhnelle
