We’ve all been taught to lead the conversation, but listening is the more powerful position in communication. It’s how you learn about and connect with someone.
Neuroscience shows that when a speaker and a listener are feeling a connection, their brain waves are actually in sync, said Kate Murphy, author of the new book, “You're Not Listening: What You're Missing and Why It Matters.” A psychologist told her it’s like experiencing “snatches of magic.”
To be a good listener, think of yourself as a detective in the conversation. Everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions, Murphy said. Remember, you already know about you so resist shifting the chat back to yourself.
