It's worth paying attention to attention

Pay attention while you listen. Framing, paraphrasing, analysing, summarising. Those all come later. Attention first.

Pay attention while you speak. Notice your tone, pace, volume ... and how these affect others listening to you.

Pay attention to your internal dialogue. That's the voice inside that distracts, interrupts, and meta-comments. Notice what you notice.

Then (after the meeting ends) ask yourself, "How do I improve the quality of my attention next time?"
