During interesting exchanges, I have the annoying habit of showing impatience on my face. This is especially pronounced if I feel I know what the person is about to say.
There are 2 issues with this –
1. I assume I know exactly what they’re going to say. Alarm bells.
2. I assume there isn’t benefit in allowing them to finish. I often clear my thinking while saying it aloud. It would be hypocritical to think others don’t do the same.
So, my exercise for the day – let people finish.
