Why is listening the perfect gift?
How
do we feel if we're fully heard and understood? Relieved, perhaps! But
much more too. When somebody really listens to us, we feel it
viscerally; we sigh deeply, our whole body relaxes and responds; we feel
valued, affirmed, respected, confident, happy, empowered and ready to
move on, to take the next step. Being fully seen and heard brings
possibilities of change. Like all communication when it works well, it
naturally carries us forward.
