Communication Skills –
Listening is an essential skill whereby you make a conscious effort to hear and understand what people are saying.
Four ideas to increase success with listening include:
- Tune in with more that your ears. Listen with your eyes and your heart as well.
- Take notes. A short pencil is better than a long memory.
- Keep an open mind. Keep listening even if you don’t agree… there may be more commonality than you initially realize. Be aware of your biases and prejudices.
- Be prepared to paraphrase to demonstrate your understanding; this practice will actually increase your listening ability.
