As humans we like, we even love talking and without even realising, we place ourselves «in the center of the conversation». Oftentimes, it is about us, what happened to us, the way we feel, what is in our minds, so conversations frequently go around our beings.
However, what happens if, for a moment, we shift our attention of our normal conversations and place «time, space and attention» on others, «becoming the host and not the guest» when interacting in conversations with people. By reversing attention we grow and develop the muscle of «emotional intelligence and effective communication».
Being the host refers to the concept of taking an active role in conversations, placing the attention on others, how they feel, what they think, what they like or don’t like and so forth and so on. In this approach, individuals display a heightened level of self-awareness, empathy, and social skills.
By «being host» we create an environment where others feel valued, understood, and respected, fostering open dialogue and genuine connections while we broaden our perspectives in life. In practicing this principle, we elevate our emotional intelligence fostering meaningful interactions, and ultimately enriching both personal and professional relationships.
