It’s a challenge to work with people — peers, junior colleagues, or even bosses — who just don’t listen. Whether your colleagues interrupt you, ramble on, seem distracted, or are always waiting for their turn to talk, the impact is the same: You don’t feel heard, and the chances for misunderstandings — and mistakes — rise. Are there tactics you can use to encourage your colleagues to listen better? Should you talk to them about their poor listening skills ? What’s the best way to deliver the message? What the Experts Say “Dealing with colleagues who don’t listen is both hard and frustrating,” says Sabina Nawaz, a global CEO and executive coach. “When someone is not fully present, it erodes the quality of what you say.” The experience might, for instance, “cause you to lose your train of thought” or “suppress what you originally planned to communicate.” It’s also possible that “you could get derailed into the drama of why it’s happening,” she adds. “You might take it personally and thin...

By MIC SMITH Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - A fired dishwasher shot and killed a chef and held a "small number" of people hostage for about three hours before he was shot by police at a crowded restaurant in a tourist-heavy area of downtown Charleston , South Carolina, on Thursday, authorities and one of the restaurant's owners said. The hostages were freed with no injuries, Mayor John Tecklenburg said. The shooting took place at Virginia's restaurant on the usually crowded King Street , a line of shops and nice dining that caters to both tourists and residents in South Carolina's largest and most historic city. Tecklenburg quickly said the shooting was "the act of a disgruntled employee" and not a terrorist attack or a hate crime in a city where nine black church members were killed by a white man two years ago. "This was a tragic case of a disturbed individual, I think, with a history of some mental health challenges ," Tecklenbu...

Plans for a 16-storey block of apartments to replace Bristol’s old DSS office in Bedminster have been scrapped – and instead developers will convert the existing 1970s building into 40 flats. But while that has been welcomed by people overlooking the St Catherine’s Place area, the developers still have ambitious plans to surround the office block with new upmarket apartment developments . St Catherine’s House has stood on the corner of Dalby Avenue for 40 years and was once the heart of the bustling St Catherine ’s Place shopping centre . But the office block has been empty for years, and the shopping centre has more empty shops than units occupied. It forms a key part of the so-called ‘Bedminster Green’ regeneration plans, which have been mired in the confusion and chaos caused by different developers owning different parts of the area either side of Malago Road. One developer had plans to knock down the St Catherine House office block , and build a shiny new 16-storey block of...

When we started asking for questions from our listeners about the state, we got pages and pages of submissions online; so many we couldn’t answer them all.  So I combed through and picked one that sounded interesting to me. And that’s how I ended up calling a woman named Jen , and asking one of the stupidest questions I’ve ever asked. To hear all the fancy sound effects I added to this story, listen to the radio version right here: You Asked, We Answered: What Made The Wapack Range? "Jen, how do I say your last name so I don’t mess it up?" "Smith… it’s the easiest name ever." Once that was out of the way, Jen told me what she wanted me to investigate: "What is the geologic history of the Wapack Range?"  What's the Wapack Range? The Wapack Range runs North to South, a 20-mile stretch that crosses several peaks into the Massachusetts Border - Pack Monadnock, Temple, Kidder, Pratt, a few others. They’re not big mountains, but Jen says it’s a grea...

I read Michael Nesset ’s article (“The good old days ... were, in ways,” Opinion Exchange, Aug. 13) and was not quite sure how to take it. I, too, grew up in a small town, but my recollections of small-town life in the 1950s and ’60s are not quite so benign or so happy. I, too, remember the soda fountain with the marble-topped bar and daytime baseball games on the radio. I also remember that my hometown was 100 percent white and nearly 100 percent Christian . Needless to say, if you weren’t either of those, you didn’t really belong there, and those who did fit those criteria were eager to let you know that. I think that from the perspective of someone nonwhite or non-Christian, the nostalgia for small-town life is a bad dream. I still see rural areas and small towns maintaining those attitudes, hence the red-blue split between cities and nonurban areas. I can see how the “ make America great again” crowd yearns for the days when white Christian men made the rules and made all of t...
