Listening vs. Hearing- Part2
“Let me see if I can re-state what I heard?"- interpreting a message
Part 2 of Creative Listening is To hone your interpretation skills.
At times knowledge is so industry based taht unless we are a part of that industry we can quickly loose interest. We might not even see the value of how that information is relevant to us. This we where most people fail. Knowledge basics are often transferable and a success in one area could produce success in often unrelated field.
The podcast recommend that we ask ourselves,
What is the essence of the message?
What is the simplest way to restate it?
Note that looking for the essence and simplest way to re-phase it might seem like you are trying to dumb it down to the message sender. Do not worry about that. Simply offer that you are trying to truly hear what it is being said.

Today's question is:
"Do you give wings to the messages of others?"
