“I used this way of working in my previous company and it worked, so it should work here too.” 🤨
“My baby slept through the night after I fed her a mochachino. You should do that if you (and your baby) want a good night’s sleep.” 😲
You can tell when people aren’t listenin. 🙉
They are busy crafting their next response that shows they know their stuff.
Or coming up with a witty reply about the last time this bad thing happened and they became a hero when they came up with a solution that no one else thought of. 💡
They are too busy cuddling their ego. 😐
True communication happens in an interaction when both parties, in that moment, is in the same space – intellectually and emotionally.

I challenge you to notice your conversations, or those that happen around you.
Do people really listen to each other?
I mean, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 listen?
Or is it only surface interactions that is all fluff and no substance?
When was the last time you had a deep meaningful conversation with someone you know?
Or with someone you don’t know?
When was the last time you had a profoundly deep and intimate conversation with a stranger you met at the airport, or at the bus stop?
Contrary with what most may think, we can definitely and absolutely create deep connection with someone you’ve just met.
All it takes is
Empathy
Curiosity
Non judgemental
Listening
