			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So says Paul Bregman, CEO of Bregman Partners, Inc in his blog post &#8220;Why Small Companies Will Win in This Economy.&#8221;</p>
<p>Marketing Statements has a headcount of two and so we agree with Paul.  However, we have worked and continue to work with large businesses and organisations that are willing to listen, willing to learn and willing to <em>change</em> and adapt to their customers <em>changing</em> needs, in this <em>changing</em> economic environment.  They continue to prosper, with very happy employees.</p>

We are all familiar with these phrases – listen up, listen here, open your ears, now get this but how many of us actually know how?  We are taught to read and write at school but never to listen.</p>
<p>With the advent of email, our need to listen has decreased, but then so has the time we spend exchanging ideas face to face.  This places greater importance on those face to face meetings and thus on your ability to listen and remember what is being discussed.</p>
<p>We speak at around 125 words per minute but our brains are capable of comprehending speech 4 or 5 times this rate and the ability to slow down our brains is almost impossible.  We can listen but we have spare time to think.</p>
<p>Listening is hard work.  The ability to suspend judgement when someone else is talking is a skill that needs practice.</p>
