Be Interested, Not Interesting • Listen for the story from the other not to find the moment to share your story • Our villains: Unlocking the keys to deep listening at work - ABC listen Listening Villains - Oscar Trimboli | Deep Listening: Impact Beyond Words Dramatic “Rather than helping the speaker progress, you get stuck in the detail and dissecting the historical events and patterns that have led you to the discussion” Interrupting “You’re so focused on finding a solution to the problem that you finish the speaker’s sentences for them. You are busy solving problems the speaker hasn’t yet verbalised.” Lost “You are so absorbed with your self-talk you don’t create enough space for the dialogue to land in your mind, you are so busy thinking about your last thought or your next thought that you can’t focus on the discussion.” Shrewd “You’re too busy trying to solve the issue before listening to the explanation. You have forgotten to be present and to listen completely.”
