Six Powerful Listening Behaviors to Transform Connection

Practicing Play

Experiencing the light-heartedness of play, even for a short time, frees up our energy, shifts our perspective, and offers space for seeing ourselves as whole beings. Play often invites us into a celebration or savoring of the ordinary and small joys of life….

“The more we become able to become a child again, to keep ourselves childlike, the more we can understand that because we love the world and we are open to understanding, to comprehension, that when we kill the child in us, we are no longer.”

-Paulo Freire, We Make the Road by Walking

How do you cultivate a beginner’s mind? How do you play? How do you stay open to observing and loving the world as if you’re seeing it for the first time? What does the gift of childlike creative wonder offer you in terms of perspective, opportunity, and relationship with the beauty of the world? How might you stay close to the childlike wisdom that abides within you this week?

My daughter reminds me on the daily how to meet the beauty and the suffering of the world with openness and wonder. She teaches me what to pay attention to. She offers me pathways to wider perspectives and bigger understandings. Who inspires your childlike wonder?

Leadership rests on the ability to listen to, connect with, and understand people. Listening makes us human, connecting us to a resting state of awareness that is within and beyond us. Listening is a practice that opens us up mentally, emotionally, and somatically to our interdependence with life. It frees us from habitual patterns of grasping for dominance, perfection, and control we may have learned along the way. In listening openly, you will discover more about yourself, others, and the world around you. As we wrap up our "Listening Series", we're sharing with you the long-term impact of effective listening at work.

How has improving your listening skills bettered your leadership style?

Ask yourself where can I hold space for mindful and intentional listening to a friend, loved one, or coworker, or even to nature today?

Tag a friend that holds space for you.

I’ve been having a hard time pausing. Full days. Full grief. Waiting on a break. I have been hearing my body scream “Slow Down” and my task driven mind has been saying “In a bit. A few more weeks. Not quite time yet.” Yesterday, the sun was out, and we had an afternoon without plans or demands. I decided to commit to listening to my body. I brought myself to my happy place out of the city, and I slowed down. By the early evening, I’d reclaimed stores of bodily energy I’d forgot existed. I’d plugged myself into a different felt sense of wholeness by listening to my body, by listening to the wind, waves, laughs, shimmering seashells, clouds, sun, and by listening to my family.

Sometimes I need a few days, weeks, or months. But most of the time, I can recharge by listening to my body and nature for a few hours or a few minutes even. I needed this reminder yesterday.

Do you feel like you listen all the time and people still say things like "You're not listening" or "You don't understand"? Or perhaps you understand that you need to develop better listening skills but you don't know where to begin? Continuing this week's "Listening Series", we offer a series of practices essential to listening in life and leadership. Part two highlights the inward practices of listening that though often invisible to our conversation partners are essential to people feeling understood and valued: awareness of assumptions, pausing on judgment, and remember the whole.

Does listening often feel like you're just waiting for your chance to speak? Do you listen to fix or problem solve more than to understand and connect? Maybe you are working on listening better but feel stuck? In this week's "Listening Series", we offer a series of practices essential to listening in life and leadership. Part one highlights the inward practices of listening that are easiest to see and hear: active listening, seeking to understand, and speaking from "I".

As we kick off, our "Listening Series" we invite you to ask yourself, "Are you really listening?"

Listening intently to others communicates that you care about them, that as a leaders, you are interested in their needs and what they have to share. Strengthening your listening skill creates comfortable environments that gives others the opportunity to express themselves and their needs. It can help people feel safe and bring out the communitarian in them and give you greater insight and gradually understand the nuances within your organization.

We are sharing affirmations that can help you develop your skills to improve your communication and leadership. What #affirmations will you carry with you this week? We'd love to hear what resonates most with you.

Leadership is expressed within and through each of us: it is not a title or a role. The beliefs and values that inform our presence and action (whether we're aware of them or not) are the foundation of who we are as leaders. As you are getting to know Rootwise, I wanted to share the principles that guide our work. Our approach to coaching leaders for social change is centered on these values. Living into our values in all that we do is an act of both self-care and community care; it allows us to feel grounded, clear, steady, and purposeful. ⁣
