Most of the folks know how to speak. Few know how to listen.
A confident, charming speaker with a wordsmith can wrap you around their finger in no time.
But a skilled listener?
That’s uncommon.
They hear not just your words, but what you mean; they pick up on the things you do not say and fully make you feel truly known (rather than heard).
Blah blah anyone can fill a few silent moments with some chatty-chatter.
Yet it takes depth to stay silent and develop a bond.
Ultimately, it is the quality and not quantity of an interview that matters most.
Most of the time, it is that person who actually understands people.
