For me I am working to be a curious listener but I feel the first step is to remove distractions. My phone is the biggest one. Yesterday I attended a professional development event and I decided to turn off notifications on Facebook and WhatsApp for 8 hours so I don’t reach out for my phone to read messages from my friends. It helped me stay engage with the conference.

Lisa, I appreciate all of your suggestions. I particularly enjoyed your fourth suggestion. Your words sparked something in me and made me realize that I should try to do that more often. Thank you! Thank you for sharing your post at The Crazy Little Lovebirds link party #34.

I am curious on #1. What would you mean by a meaningful question? Did I just ask one?! 🙂

I’m encouraged that curiosity can be enhanced and boosted. Bombarded by so many words sometimes, I am embarrassed to admit that I have tuned out a person’s story thinking, “I don’t need to know this…”
The thing is—I DO need to know the person!

Love these ideas Lisa! Being present is such an important practice when communicating with others and so easily forgotten

These are all important ways to improve our relationships and communications. I am not sure how long ago I began to notice, but there were times during a conversation that I would stop mid sentence and the person didn’t even realize it. We’ve become a people who are so distracted with our phones that often even during a conversation we are not paying attention. I want to be curious about others. I think you are right, Lisa, we need to be curious listeners for those around us are so worth it.
