Sometimes we are so anxious to voice the next thing we want to say that we stop actively listening and that is disconnecting behavior too. Feeling cut off when you are in the midst of expressing an idea or opinion can lead to feeling frustrated. Part of being “slow to speak” then is assessing what the right moment is.

Actively listen. At home, make time to ask people how they are feeling and what they are doing throughout their day so you give them a chance to talk. Make these one-on-one conversations, if you can, so you can give your full attention to the person. Resist the urge to jump right in with a solution.

Practice active listening. Listen carefully and be present in conversations. Connections with others are strengthened when you discover shared interests and experiences. To do this, ask a question such as “what are your interests outside of work?”.
