Listen Not Reloading

Have you ever talked to someone who wasn’t really listening and was just waiting for you to pause so they could jump in with their own story? Frustrating. And pointless. Here’s the truth: these people aren’t listening. They’re reloading. They nod, but their mind is already drafting the comeback. The moment you stop rehearsing your reply and actually hear the other person, you’ve done what 90% of the room won’t do. Listen to understand, not to reply. #PassionPurposeProductivity
