It's so easy to switch off from what someone’s is sharing with you and just be waiting for your moment to jump in and regale your story, or share your solution.

Open to be changed

I often witness or myself get caught in conversations where there is no real discussion. What I mean is that each person is sharing what they are comfortable with, but there is no will to build a common story. ‘’What you were saying and why it was important doesn’t seem to matter, it just bounced off.’’ It is challenging to enter a discussion. What you get into might challenge your beliefs but you don’t have to be convinced. You might also learn something along the way by getting a better perspective on what feels unknown or far from your frame of reference. To have a real discussion we need to be open to be changed.
