I took a listening Class A few years ago I thought I was a great listener and I Realized that I am an absolutely Fantastic listener when I talk to people I'll never see again for the rest of my Life but absolutely terrible with my Friends and loved ones I would have These fights with my friends and loved Ones and they'd say you're such a bad Listener and I was like do you know what I do for a living I'm pretty good turns Out I sucked turns out all my friends Knew I suck too and so I've really Worked very hard at taking the things That I know about active listening that I do in a work environment and bringing It into my personal life I'm learning to Hold space I'm learning to put my Emotions aside and not take things Personally so I can provide a safe space For somebody to feel heard now when I Have an argument for example I always Fight to get to resolution I used to Fight to be right so yeah I think my Personal listening skills Um I'm really proud I'm really proud They're a lot better now and I think my Friends would agree
