Content: Your mind may still wander away, but you can learn to catch it and bring your focus back to the discussion. By practicing it multiple times, it will become easier to not only listen to the other person but also retain a large part of the information. Step 2: Draw meaningful insights
Holding so much information in our brain without comprehending can be emotionally challenging at first. But, it does give way to better insights later. Once you have all the verbal and non-verbal data, process it with additional context. Apply your previous knowledge about the person or situation and take cues from the current information to determine what the person intends to say. Place less weight on language and choice of words and more on the emotions to get to the underlying message they wish to communicate. While drawing these insights, ask yourself “Is this what I observed and heard or is it a biased view limited by my own beliefs and experiences”. This form of powerful questioning can shift us to find more meaningful insights.
