YOU ARE VERY SMART.  You know who you are…you know something about everything, and you love to let everyone know that you know.  If you don’t know, you can grab that cel phone and prove that you know, by pulling up the perfect know it all article.

Well, the truth is, you MAY know a lot (or a little) about SOME things, but you are blocking your ability to LEARN more about some things, by not listening.  And UH OH…your annoying.  you are actually NOT teaching anyone anything, and they are NOT impressed with your knowledge, just trying to remove themselves from your presence.  (Ever noticed how many people have to excuse themselves to go to the bathroom when talking to you?  That’s a sure sign!)

So how do you fix this?

Step 1:  Listen more.  I mean REALLY listen.  Shhhhh.  God gave you two ears and one mouth.  It’t time to use them proportionately.  Glue that mouth shut with super glue if you have to.  Listen until you actually feel what they mean.  As if you could actual feel what they feel.  Most good listeners know how to get into RAPPORT and stay in rapport.

Step 2:  Repeat in slightly different words what you think you heard.  For example:  The person you are listening to says, “The air quality seems bad today.” (Im using that as an example because for  days I’ve been near #sandfire and I’ve been hearing that alot!)  You could answer, “Yes, is the smoke bothering you?  I feel like I’ve been by a campfire for days!”  This is a simple agree and add statement that tells the person you HEARD them and agree, even adding a simple example that you understand.

Step 3:  Ask a sincere question.  This shows you care, and are interested in them.

Repeat those three steps until you see, hear and feel that they are interested in you. Then and only then should a smartypants give that little tidbit of advice you’ve been dying to say, “I hear chem-dry has a great process for removing smoke from your carpets!”
