“Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.”

Powerful, indeed!
If our goal is to draw closer to someone, to help create their new futures and fulfill their needs and wants for their lives, careers and outcomes, listening is a powerful tool. If our goal is to evolve and change with the times and lead in a meaningful manner, listening creates us. Each of those pictures – drawing closer to, interacting with a creative force and being, literally unfolded, expanded and created for tomorrow – excite me.
Let’s make it easier for others to move toward us. Let’s make it easier for us to move toward one other. Let’s really listen. Let’s make a difference.
