  • Best Idea 011: How to be a good listener

    "The human soul doesn’t want to be advised or fixed or saved. It simply wants to be witnessed — to be seen, heard and companioned exactly as it is." - Parker J. Palmer

    Has anyone ever said, "You're not listening to me!" despite your self-belief of being a good listener? Jen reveals to Adrian that he's not always the best listener when he asks her for honest feedback. Together, they talk about ways to show others that you care about by pausing while someone is talking, acknowledging that you heard them, advocating their side of the story, and much more.

    Resources:

    • Parker J. Palmer's quote was reference from the article, The Gift of Presence, The Perils of Advice https://onbeing.org/blog/the-gift-of-presence-the-perils-of-advice/
