After 25 years as a journalist and 20 as talk show host, listening expert Ben Merens believes that PEOPLE ARE DYING TO BE HEARD.
Today's society says that in order to keep up with global trends, we have to multi-task. Ben Merens believes this advice will actually keep you from your goals. Focus is how people succeed. You just can't do two things at the same time.
He states there are three levels to listening:
Listening to yourself
Listening to loved ones and friends
Listening to strangers
The most important facet to listening well is to be in the moment and focused entirely on the task at hand.
Listening thought of the day:
"Our weeks are filled with noise that hampers our ability to listen…hear the silence this weekend and revel in its message.”- Ben Merens
Engaging, Inspiring, Memorable
