Stronger Together
A different kind of thinking around aged care, allowing folk to stay in their own homes and be cared for in a more genuine way than just having a nurse pop in every so often.

Technology and Listening
Technology provides us with wonderful opportunities to connect as people, families, businesses and communities. Yet technology can cause us to hear more and listen less all at the same time if we are not intentional about our use of technology. Technology is a wonderful gift which enables us to listen to conversations we would never of had. But let’s be careful the noise of technology does not prevent us from listening to conversations we could have had.

Checking Our Listening Filters
As listeners we all have listening filters. Listening filters impact what messages reach us as listeners and in what way we interpret those messages. Learning to recognise and manage our own listening filters can dramatically improve our listening abilities. Good listening involves becoming aware of our own filters and how our listening filters enhance, muffle or modify the messages we hear.

Developing a healthy listening attitude Pt 2
Great listening does not start with the position of our ears, it starts with the position of our attitude. When we have an attitude which values others, it motivates us to listen well. A humble and respectful attitude is foundational to effective listening. Likewise, a healthy listening attitude is gentle and warm in tone towards the speaker

Becoming a Generous Listener
One of the most powerful attributes we can bring to healthy communications is to become generous listeners. Generous listening is far from being a passive process.

Listening to the Heart
We all have a story and we all have a heart. Effective listening appreciates the story, which is being told, great listening listens to the heart of the person living out their story. If we limit ourselves to just listening to words and don’t train ourselves to listen to the heart, then it can be like listening to surface details and not the core issue. Listening to the heart promotes connection and understanding whilst at the same time reduces division and conflict....

Listening to the Story
Great listening is not just the process of listening to facts. Great listening involves appreciating the story that is being told by the speaker. When I appreciate the story, I value the person telling the story and I am interested to go on the journey of exploring what the story being told represents and means to the speaker. Listening to the story occurs when we start to see meaning in what’s being said and not just details.

Moving from the Wrestling Mat to the Dance Floor
Before we can progress further on our journey of holistic listening. We have to contend with the notion of moving from the wrestling mat to the dance floor. Listening can ultimately resemble a wrestling contest or a gracious dance like the waltz. Initially, it might seem like there is a lot of motivating factors for not wanting to be caught in cycles of wrestling type listening. However, if we are honest with ourselves, sometimes there is an allure to the adrenalin of wrestling and the short-ter...

A Holistic View of Listening
In our journey of becoming great listeners we must have a full and healthy appreciation of listening. Too often listening is viewed as a task that we do. This tends to compartmentalise listening from other aspects of our lives. Great listening is not an action rather it is a lifestyle. We become great listeners when listening is no longer something we do but who we are. Great listeners live a listening life.
