I have been a member of a study group for several years. Recently,  we decided to engage in a year-long project focused on how we listen and hear others. 

As part of the “homework” we each keep a journal - every day writing down something we learned from someone else. I’ve taking that a step further and will make what I learn the subject of my Facebook Live which I have been posting regularly for over 6 years.  

What I am discovering is that focusing on learning something new from everyone I talk to has put my already “active listening” into overdrive. I am calling this Active Listening+

What about you? Would you call yourself an “active listener?”
