What is active listening?

Have you ever had a conversation with someone, and the person is fully engaged in what you are sharing, showing a genuine desire to understand and paying close attention to what you're saying, verbally and non-verbally? That is active listening, and it's my passion and purpose.

Why it matters?

Feeling heard and understood is a human need. It is paramount to having healthy and mental well-being. Active listening plays a significant role in how we interact in personal and professional settings. Being heard and seen, we experience hope, joy, worthiness, and a sense of belonging.

Active listening is a game-changer. When it is part of the foundation of our communication skills, it makes us more effective as communicators. We become more productive in our relationships and environments.
