What's the point of life? Emily thinks it's feeling significant. Most people gain significance through their stories. Personal narratives drive our desires, our ambitions and our memories. Corporate narratives are the backbone of any business. Feeling like someone is listening to you is a great way to feel important, to feel significant. If you make someone else feel significant, they will feel connected to you, making you significant to them. Learning to listen is the most powerful way we can improve our relationships and our leadership skills.
