Why it’s not easy to listen
Our brains can process thoughts quickly – the equivalent of at least 600 to 800 words a minute. Yet our speech is relatively slow – 100 to 300 words a minute. This gives our brains spare capacity to think of other things while we are listening. It’s easy to become distracted. Or, rather than listening, you are thinking of the next thing you will say. This means you may fail to really hear the point being made by the other or pick up their underlying feelings and needs.
