The Art of Active Listening with Heather Younger
Listening is important for our interactions and our ongoing relationships. Heather R. Younger joins Kevin to talk about active listening, which is more than nodding your head and repeating what someone says. Active listening uses your senses to recognize what is unsaid. Active listening is about engaging with the other person, showing interest, and understanding their emotional state. Active listening is about taking the time to research, reflect, and analyze the feedback or request received. Active listening is acting, even if the action is a compromise or a no. Lastly, active listening is consistently closing the loop to show that their voice is valued and their feedback matters.

Kevin stresses the importance of clarity for building confidence, setting direction, and increasing productivity and momentum. He provides four pieces of advice for creating clarity: (1) be clear yourself before creating clarity for others, (2) communicate more clearly by picking your words carefully and ensuring that the other person has understood your message, (3) clarify your intention to avoid confusion and misinterpretation, and (4) repeat without being repetitious to connect the dots and reinforce the message.
