• Getting people to listen is a common challenge
• It's easy to blame the non-listener, but the problem may rest w/you!

People won't listen if... 

1. You don't listen to them 
2. They think you're trying to change their mind 
3. They're angry with you  
4. They don't trust you 
5. Your tone is too aggressive 
6. You drone on and on 
7. You're preaching instead of informing (sharing information of value)
