In today’s world of either broadcasting or consuming information, people seem to have forgotten how to really listen. In this episode, we explore how we have arrived at this point where we can no longer listen to other people or our environment, and how to re-learn that crucial skill. We talk about different ways of listening, frameworks we can use to understand people better, as well as practical steps towards becoming better listeners.

In This Episode of Future Thinkers:

It has to fall on your responsibility to both be understood and to understand. You have to be a sovereign unit that is good at communication. - @MikeGilliland Click To Tweet
