To truly listen!

Leadership

To truly listen, one must step out of their own shell. It is a vulnerable yet powerful position. When we emerge from our shells, we are open to absorbing and feeling the emotions of others. We are no longer distracted by the echoes of our own thoughts.

Listening goes beyond hearing words. It’s about stepping into another’s shoes, understanding their emotions, interpreting the silences within the conversation, and noticing the subtle changes, like racing or dropping our heartbeats.

It’s impossible to truly listen while hidden in our shells, where all we hear are the echoes of our own messages.
