It's really active listening. A lot of people oftentimes listen to respond versus listening to hear what the person is actually saying. So you need to be in the present moment. I talk about being in the present moment often because when people are talking, oftentimes their mind is somewhere else or their mind is like, okay, what do I need to say to respond to what this person is saying?
