“I Am Listening to you!” | How to Listen effectively

 

 

“I AM LISTENING TO YOU!”

 

 

 

 

Everyone has a different perspective on how they think they’re listening to you.

 

However, how much do you really “hear & understand”?

 

 

 

Listening is really an art of “paying attention in order to hear”.

 

How many times have you looked at someone while they are listening to either yourself or someone else, & you knew they never heard a thing!

 

 

 

Exactly, because it’s one thing to “hear”, & it’s quite another thing to “listen & understand”.

 

 

 

 

I learned the major differences while I was in college, spending a long time in: communications, writing & public speaking classes.

 

Listening is only half of speaking, but you have to understand both in order to be effective at either one in communication.

 

 

 

 

Here are some thoughts for you that will clarify this very easily.  See where you fit in on “the art of listening.”

How to Listen Effectively

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When with the individual, lean in & look into their eyes while they’re talking.

This tells the person you are interested in what they’re saying.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not interrupt them by asking questions or jumping in to give your thoughts or answers.

This throws off the person’s train of thought & only interrupts them, let them finish.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When they do pause after completing there statement, then inquire by saying, “tell me more” if applicable.

This lets the person know you are interested in their experience or topic of information.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When they have completed their message, tell them what you heard them say & ask if you’re right.

This ensures you DID hear & understand correctly what they said & prevent any misunderstandings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Show them comfort if they have sad information by saying, “I’m so sorry for how you have suffered” or an appropriate comment.

Use your judgement with this, it depends on the issue they’re sharing as to how to respond, but it does extend comfort.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Never, while the person is talking: look at your watch, look at your phone, look around the room or the door.

This immediately tells them you’re not interested, not listening & don’t want to be there with them.

Show respect to people when someone is talking to you.

 

It may not be the right time for you, but remember they don’t know that.

 

 

 

A poor listener will live a very lonely life, because no one wants to talk to a poor listener, it’s a waste their time.

 

 

 

 

Think before you agree to listen, remember if you start to listen to someone, you’ve made an understood commitment to respect what they have to say.

If you do chose to listen, be sure you hear the information correctly & do not just assume or interpret what they are telling you with your “own spin on it”.
