Caught in a conversation where we hardly get a word in edgewise. It’s not a pleasant experience, is it?
I remember, a few years ago, I met someone at a networking event. The moment we shook hands, he launched into a monologue about his career achievements and future plans. I barely got an opportunity to introduce myself, let alone share my thoughts or experiences.
People with high emotional intelligence avoid this mistake. They know that conversations are a two-way street, and they strive for balance. They understand the importance of listening and the value it brings to building relationships.
