Listening is an effective key to success than Orating

It help if we focus more on our listening skills. Sometime, we face lots of situations wherein we feel that the other person has communicated the thing was the different the actual. Example: Say A call me and told that A will be available for the meeting on X date. But we would have considered or listened that as on X+1 date because we were not focused at the time of conversation.
If, you want to see the practical example of these things. Then apply this concept from today. Noted down the pointer of every important conversation in a especial note book or use follow-up email (or other similar tools) fr the confirmation of post conversation or minutes of the meetings. It will not only help you in mesmerizing the past conversation but also will help you in improving your memory skills.
