Learn to explore the silence in each others company, give it a chance. To hold on to the silence in a conversation one will have to learn the art of letting go. Let go all the thoughts that we have about each other, let go of the judgement we have on each other that silence brings in. Get to know the person with you. I guarantee you that you will learn a lot more about the person when he or she is in silence than when they speak. One needs to Listen to the environment around itself. 

Hi everyone, today we will speak about listening to the person, I know some of you may say, of course we listen to a person and who else do we listen to. Let me clarify myself. From the time I have started the consulting role in my professional life, it has always intrigued me how people portray themselves from what they actually are, especially in the first meeting 

The episode is name as Listen – to the early morning. Why morning and why early, Some of you will be in your head like  xavier morning is early.  I know I know.

In the first episode of mine we spoke about the intent of the listener which helps the listeners mind to be engage in the conversation rather than be occupied with the personal thoughts.

This episode we will speak of Me in phases – past and Now. in my introductory episode I spoke of two aspects which contribute in the formation of ourselves , 1st the experiences we had in our life and the second A set of belief we form after these events.

At every event that mark a milestone in our formation become an endorsement deal which we sign with ourselves. The belief system that we develop are the terms and conditions of that endorsement deal which feed to become the VERSION of ourselves today.

Today I want to share about the moments where we say words which we normally would not say and do things which we normally would not do and have this lump in our throat which we choke upon
