Nobody chooses to become a refugee. Often, they’re forced to flee due to circumstances outside their control. No matter why they flee or where they flee from, seeking asylum is a fundamental human right. All refugees must be able to find #HopeAwayFromHome.

Can good listening skills make you a better humanitarian?👂 Anja Klug, Head of UNHCR’s Office for Switzerland and Liechtenstein, explains how listening makes her better at her job. #HumanitariansAtWork #StaffSpotlight
What makes you better at work 😉 We were discussing among colleagues 🤷♀️ 🤷🏽♂️ what was the one thing which makes you better at work. Being put on the spot nothing came to my mind and then too many ideas popped up: knowledge; experience; information sharing; networking…🤔 I always find it hard to decide for the 🎯ONE thing. But 💥 I knew what would be on top of my list: listening. 👂 Simple? Too simple? VERY DIFFICULT. 🧗🏽♂️ It sounds so easy, but in fact it requires a lot and I cannot claim excellency 🏅 of any sorts. Nevertheless, I learned throughout my carrier how important it was. And thankfully I had the support of a great coach, colleague and friend, Helmut Buss (CPCC_ACC) who gave me some beginner courses. 👨🏽🏫 It all starts with listening to myself. 👩🏽 This means to find out what is truly 👉🏽 important for me and what course of action I really want to take. I need to put aside all the loudenesses, attractions and distractions, the senseless demands. And then on that basis it means listening to the other with my body and my mind, to the colleagues in my team 🧍♀️🧍♂️🧍, but also to each individual woman and men with which we work and partner 🤝. Too often, even in the simplest conversation I realize how hard it is to be quit, put all other thoughts away and focus on the other, what he or she has to say with words, body language and otherwise. 👂Listening requires concentration, patience and interest in the other person, amongst others. To be a good listener👂 requires exercise 🎽 as everything else, but if I do 🎉whole new universes and relationships may be opening up. I understand the world around me and know what action best to take. 👍 Try it out for yourself! 😲 #humanitariansATwork.
