Hold your breath...I'll wait.
How long was it? 30 seconds? A whole minute? You youngsters with fresh lungs...two minutes? No matter how long you held your breath - chances are you can actively listen to another person for even less time. That's our rule of thumb for active listening skills development; a baseline, a place to begin considering this key dynamic of meaningful communications. Out of courtesy we'd like to think we listen well. Why give ourselves the benefit of the doubt that we possess something we may not? We know how we feel when we are afforded less than complete attention and surely do not want to treat another person similarly. That would be rude and we are not rude. Or maybe we just haven't noticed. Test your listening capacity. How long can you let another person speak...and really hear/process what they are saying? Watch your focus ebb and flow from their words and actions to your thoughts, comments and reactions. How long was it? Betcha' can hold your breath longer... 7/5/2018 05:20:22 am
Active listening is important to all of the students and as a person who wants to learn. There are trials and there are challenges that we will face and to listen to our mentor will make us complete and will make us stronger and wiser. There will be light and hope, we just need to be wiser in dealing with the different stages that we need to surpass. This post will help us to listen to the important values that we need to apply in our lives. We will see the result in time, but first we just need to gather knowledge. 7/24/2018 08:38:39 am
Active listening is an aptitude that can be obtained and cultivated with practice. When a person listens to something giving his full attention, we can say he is actively engaged in the listening bustle. It means listening to the message with all senses. Listening is an adeptness. It is not something that simply surfaces. Rather it is an active approach in which a responsive settlement is made to comprehend the notification of the speaker. Smile, posture, mirroring- are some of the key signs of active listening. Thank you:) Comments are closed.
