Renowned sound and communication expert, Julian Treasure, claims that we are losing our listening.
We spend 60% of our communication time listening, but only retain 25% of what we hear.

Treasure says conscious listening always creates greater understanding.
We need to be able to listen to each other and teach conscious listening to our children.
