Corey CorreaHostHi, I'm Susan Postnikoff, and I am going to focus my talk today on listening, because listening is love.
When we authentically, with true desire to understand and to have compassion for others, in business, we demonstrate respect.
In personal lives, we demonstrate love, and in both situations, we're providing compassion and understanding, and we're just allowing the person to be where they are, which allows them to be grateful and to help all of us experience gratitude.
Harvard, the adult development study done here at Harvard was the longest study ever of happiness and wellbeing and quality of life.
They followed hundreds of people from teenage years through to old age, multiple generations, and they studied various aspects of their lives and how happy and how great their quality of life was.
And according to Robert Waldinger, who was one of the four study directors over those 85 years, they found that a good life is not necessarily built upon your financial success or your achievements, it's built on the quality of your relationships.
And those people who are able to maintain great connection and great relationships, experienced that great quality of life.
And when we listen, when we set the judgment aside and listen fully and with compassion, we create those greater connections and we remove the mask that we kind of hide behind, that invisible mask where we're projecting who we are and just step into being who we are and being present for other people.
