Today is World Listening Day.
We talk a lot about how important listening is. But what does it actually look like?
Here are 7 things anyone can practice today:
• Pause for three seconds before you respond.
• Don’t interrupt, even if you already know what you want to say.
• Don’t give advice unless you’re asked for it.
• Resist the urge to make the conversation about yourself.
• Don’t judge what you hear as “good,” “bad,” “right,” or “wrong.”
• Stay curious instead of certain.
Most importantly:
Give someone ten minutes of your undivided attention today.
It’s remarkable how often conversations change—not because of the perfect words, but because someone feels truly heard. At momo hört zu, we believe listening is not a way to change people. It is a gift that allows them to reconnect with themselves.
Maybe World Listening Day is the perfect opportunity to try exactly that.
Who will you truly listen to today?
