Hub You - Things Children Can Teach Us About Business
Go Beyond Hearing and Listen, Listen, Listen
If we listened twice as much as we talked, we would be a lot further down the road to success. People sometimes think I am very quiet when they first meet me. Those that know me are aware that I am quite the opposite. When I am in a setting where I do not know anyone, I spend my time listening to conversations. I pick up good information about most people at the event. Once I feel I have enough to go on, I will put my hat in the ring and speak up. If most people did the same thing, they would learn how to participate in a conversation. Not only do you have to listen to conversations, you actually have to hear what they are saying. It is only through hearing that you will gain an understanding. I am not saying you need to understand every conversation but you do need to understand enough to make an intelligent comment to get into the circle.Another way to get into a conversation is to reiterate what you have just heard. I use, "did I hear you say . . . . .?” The response is usually yes and then they continue to explain why they said it. This is your opportunity to follow up with your comments. You must continue to listen and hear throughout any conversation and only make a comment when

Ring In The New Year

She gets more attention by not saying anything than all of
the other loud mouth kids her age.
The people at her school make a big deal out of anything
that she says because she doesn’t say much.
She's also pretty resourceful.
For example, if she is hungry and no one is
really paying her any attention, she’ll go in the kitchen and
get a snack from the cupboard.
If she wants something that she can’t reach she'll
