Ep19: Talk less and listen MORE.
In this episode (series), Mei Phing discusses why extroverts should focus on listening rather than talking to improve their communication skills and build genuine relationships.
Key Highlights
🎧 Extroverts often struggle with listening skills as they are easily distracted and have a tendency to speak before they think. This can lead to making assumptions and jumping to conclusions.
🎧 Genuine relationships require active listening and allowing others to communicate. Dominating conversations can hinder relationship-building.
🎧 Improving listening skills requires self-awareness and a conscious effort to be attentive. It is a valuable skill that can lead to career success and better connections with others.
🎧 Extroverts who volunteer for various tasks should pause and listen deeper to ensure they are taking on the right opportunities.
🎧 The percentage of talking versus listening in conversations is crucial in determining the quality of relationships. Building win-win relationships requires equal participation from both parties.
🎧 Conducting a self-audit on communication habits and recognizing the need for improvement is the first step in developing better listening skills.
🎧 Improving listening skills can lead to immediate positive results in relationships and how others perceive you. It is a skill that brings long-term rewards.
