Emerson's quote makes me ponder how often I really listen. Sometimes I do just wait for my turn to talk. The best way I know to make sure we are really listening is to reflect back to the person what they just said-but not in a parroting or patronizing way. Maybe in a personal absorbing kind of way. Like we have really heard and taken it into our heart. Also, when we look into the person's eyes when they are speaking, we are connecting better. It's something to work on.
