Mindful listening in a nutshell

The world is changing and so is the way we communicate. The last decade has seen us focus on building the skill to create effective communicators. While it is important to be able to stand up and talk, the importance of sitting down and listening cannot be undermined. As the world is moving towards a more digitized way of communication, the scope of the term listening too has to evolve to ensure completeness and comprehensiveness. It has become more important than ever to consciously train ourselves to become mindful listeners to deepen our understanding of the world and people around us, thus helping us build strongly rooted, fulfilling relationships in our personal and professional endeavours.
