I believe we have glossed over the speaking part that you describe under “Speaking Skills” in our Salon training. After speaking it makes complete sense to pause and ask for a reaction from the listeners. But my personal experience, when I am RED, I often don’t leave the space for, or request a response. A response usually arrives but often after I have belabored, bored, and tried the patience of my listeners.

Thank for reminding me of this important element of a listening conversation. We should mention it more often in the Salons, as I believe it would facility the flow of conversation, especially for the new participants.
