One of my favorite topics is listening. When I say it’s a favorite, that’s because I need to work on it. I don’t think I’m alone — most people can improve on their listening ability. I was recently called out for not listening. The man who called me out was right. Despite the fact that I was trying to give non-verbal cues that I was listening (nodding my head, saying “uh-huh”), I wasn’t really listening. I was tuned out. You really can’t fake listening.
