I just read a great post on Small Business Diva blog discussing the value of good listening. Over the years I’ve had training in active listening but it does take a lot of discipline to practise it. As a business owner I have so much going on in my head, I find it a challenge to stop thinking about the business and really listen to the person with whom I’m engaging. It is good to be reminded of the value of other people and the importance of actively listening.
Don’t you love it when someone really listens to you?
Here’s to volunteer treasurers..
I’m glad you liked the post. I know what you mean about all the things that are going on in your head – I find it difficult to stop them long enough to focus on someone or something at times too.
