In my beginnings of teaching leadership I thought that learning was directly tied to me impressing people, and them listening to me lecture and disseminate “good” information. I soon found out that just handing out “good” information for them to process on their own wasn’t producing the impact I desired. What I learned as I grew was the real change in people, and the internal self-reflection I was hoping to impart, happened specifically when they were guided through the process of thinking, and shown the benefits of applying the knowledge to their life. It was in meaningful and purposeful conversations that shifting and real growth occurred.
Unconsciously, we try to protect ourselves from offense when we feel we are not in a safe place to have open and honest conversations. We often speak to prove, or defend our beliefs and ideas. And, we listen mostly so we can combat anything others may say about us.
