Listening to others requires real curiosity. So there's something about whether we are, you know, before we even get to techniques, are we somebody that can see the other person, that can really engage in the fact that there is a fascinating, unique individual in front of us that requires respect, that has a story and that almost certainly, if we listen well enough, we have something to learn from. Now, if you find somebody that has that sort of belief and orientation towards people, you tend to find that some of their techniques and habits just follow suit.
