I've been teaching communication workshops for five years, and one pattern I see is that people who are great at public speaking often struggle with active listening. In a recent session, a participant dominated the conversation, and when I asked others how they felt, they said they didn't get a chance to share. It made me question whether our education system emphasizes speaking over listening, and if that imbalance affects teamwork and relationships. Do you think active listening is a skill that can be deliberately improved, or is it more of a natural trait that some people just have? I'm curious how you've approached developing this in yourself or your team.
