When you are talking to someone do you make them feel that you really care about them? Author and Teacher, Richard Moss says “The greatest gift you can give another is the purity of your attention.”

When talking with others, here are a few things you can do to let people know you care:
* Ask open ended questions that start with words like "What' and "How".
* Repeat back what they have said so they feel that they have been heard and understood.
* Don’t interrupt.
* Show that you are listening by nodding your head, smiling and making affirming statements like "I see" or "yes".
* Make solid eye contact and don’t let your eyes wander.
* And keep the conversation on them

The pay off for developing these disciplines is big because you’ve made someone else feel special, and you feel great about doing something good for someone else.
