SKILL #1
ACTIVE LISTENING
Actually listening to someone is a lot more than just hearing what is coming out of their mouth!Here are some tips to becoming a better listener:
-
Pay close attention to what is being said and remember key points (like someone’s name or event being talked about)
-
Make eye contact frequently
-
Ask questions or for more information to show interest and to make sure you understand what’s being said.
-
Hear not only what the person is saying, but how they feel about it from their tone of voice, facial expression, body language.
-
Summarize it in your own words-can be as easy as ‘so you had a great time on your trip’.
