The true meaning of active listening

I wish I were kidding, and in the past, I would have argued the opposite. For the longest time, listening was something I counted as a skill. I thought that being quiet while others were talking was enough. But listening is more than a politeness tick box. When we give someone our full attention when we clear our minds of to-dos, emails, work stress, and what we think might be good to say next, something really cool happens.
