Eleven gentle reminders.........................

Tanmay Vora noticed I don't listen as well as I could and kindly offered 11 tips for improvement. Working at it.  Two samples:

2.   Effective listening starts with an intention to understand. When you constantly listen with intent of answering or replying, you miss on a lot of non-verbal clues in communication process.

9.   Listening is not practiced only when we are with others. You can (and you should) spend time listening to your inner self. It raises self-awareness!
