“The quieter you become, the more you can hear.”
Ram Dass
The hardest thing to do is stop and listen—to another person, to your own thoughts, to your own breath.
How can you lead anyone if you can’t listen? How can you listen if you aren’t willing to be quiet? It’s not just your own voice that needs to be silenced; it’s all the voices that you have invited into the conversation and are competing for your attention: your phone, your shows, your social media threads.
What does a moment of silence look like for you? How can you find some today? What will you hear?
Lead yourself first; then, you’ll be ready to lead others.
