You can listen like a blank wall or like a splendid auditorium where every sound comes back fuller and richer.” — Alice Miller
When was the last time someone actually listened to you?
Hey, it’s Anwell, and this is Soft Power Leaders, by Brantio. We help brilliant women in Biotech and Pharma gain influence.
Listened to you with absolute attention? Listened to all your concerns, fears, and hopes? Noticed the slightest change in tone? Noticed when you became hesitant and when you dared to be vulnerable? Accepted everything you said at face value without questioning any of the emotions and thoughts running through your head?
If it’s been a while, it might be worth it to find that rare person who listens. Or to be the one who actually listens to others.
Active listening skills like paraphrasing, summarizing, and mirroring can only go so far. Listening with curiosity and genuine care while acknowledging the other person’s motives and feelings takes emotional energy.
It takes patience. It takes hard work. It’s not for everyone. But it’s worth it.
How might you listen like a splendid auditorium?
Thanks for listening! Now go make it happen.
