If you closely observe when someone is talking, you can find the patterns and their preferences. They can be different from yours, but knowing the patterns and preferences helps you understand the person and from where they are coming.

It isn’t that simple. First, you need to have awareness of your preferences when it comes to communicating your ideas and thoughts. Second, while you are in conversation, it will be distracting if you are analyzing the context and not paying attention to the person with whom you are talking.
Like all skills, listening needs to be practiced. You usually take listening for granted. You may think listening is the same as hearing, but you are mistaken. Listening is a deliberate action where you are conscious of what you are doing. But hearing is the default, something you are born with.
How to Listen by Oscar Trimboli is one of my favorite books. As the author advises, the book’s contents have to be practiced every week till you master them. I love this read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This book is for everyone. I highly recommend it.
