I don't care about preaching to the converted.
Listening is not understanding the words of the question asked, listening is understanding why the question was asked in the first place.
What you do is proof of what you believe.

The courage of leadership is giving others the chance to succeed even though you bear the responsibility for getting things done.
The confident ask questions to learn what will connect. The insecure just keep talking with the hope something will stick.
