Communication Skills – Listening –

Working at listening is harder than it sounds. We are so used to multitasking that staying focused is a real effort!

Six ideas to increase success with listening include:

  1. Listen with more that your ears. Listen with your eyes and your heart to determine intension..
  2. Make notes. Relying on memory is risky.
  3. Be open minded especially if you don’t agree… there may be more share interest than you initially realize.
  4. Be objective. Overcome your biases and prejudices.
  5. Clarify and confirm by paraphrasing.
  6. Also paraphrase to demonstrate that you understand.
