Learn to listen

Once I was told that I am not a good conversationalist over the phone. I have a “get to the point” communication style, and it gets worse over the phone. Sometimes even talking to my dear friends, deep down, I am trying to say the points and end the call as soon as possible.

During our team meetings, when my coworkers are explaining things that we already know, I am patiently listening to them but questioning myself why people cannot cut the chase and get to the point.

Just I got off the phone call with my significant person in my life, and I realized that I rushed the conversation again. Why did I not give him enough time to talk about his day as if I already know what he is going to say? I need to listen to what other people have to say. I need to set aside my ego and self-righteous attitude at bay and listen to the people. Listen to the people with sincerity.
