Surprised by an unexpected new perspective
I regularly walk my dog in Coventry’s War Memorial Park. Though not as famous as New York's Central Park, it's the closest thing Coventry has to it - well-loved and well-used by the local community.
But going to the same place pretty much every day can, quite frankly, be boring. Sound familiar?
Are you really paying attention?
It struck me recently that listening is a bit like driving. What I mean is that most people would probably say that they are a good listener, in the same way they would probably say they are a good driver. After all, who would want to admit to being bad at either?
