I’ve found all of the tools in this module useful and relevant to other work/study I’m doing.
I think better listening is a skill I need to cultivate and my end goal is to be able to engage in that level 3 listening but I imagine I need to get better at level 2 first! Focusing on what the person is saying rather than getting lost in my own mind and trying to work out what I’m going to say next.
I like the cigar model too, it’s really simple and I think identifying the gaps between where I am now and where I want to be, and then developing action steps to close those gaps is a really useful way of looking at, instead of looking at an action plan to get me to the ideal situation – I can see there is a big difference between the two types of thinking there.
Hi Barb…yes, sometimes it’s hard to get out of one’s own head! When I started out as a coach, I used to sit on my hand as a trigger to jump into Level 2 listening and stay there. What would work for you? And the CIGAR model is excellent, not just for these creative conversations, but as a writing and presentation as well.
I almost need a “listening hat” like Walt Disney’s creative thinking hat! I probably need to come up with something a little more subtle than that though :-)
:)) I can’t wait to see what you come up with!
