Are you listening with an open mind or a closed mind?

What you hear when you are with others very much depends on how well you are listening. When you are with anyone you have the choice to really connect with them and learn something fantastic or just casually listen to the conversation with your own mindset, beliefs and maybe even thinking about what you are doing next.

If you are listening with an open mind then you will hear something far more interesting than when you listen with a closed mind or thinking about other things. You may think you are multi-tasking but if you are not giving someone your full attention then you are not being present with them. If you are present with them  you will connect with them on a much deeper level. because we all just love it when someone gives us attention! 🙂

I encourage you to connect with everyone you meet in your business life and your personal life. You will make connections in business far quicker and have an abundance of people who will support you. Additionally, its kind to listen and allow the other person to be heard.

Be present, open your mind, listen and be amazed at what you discover.
