Pay Attention Give the speaker your undivided attention and acknowledge the message. Recognize that non-verbal communication also "speaks" loudly. 2. Show That You're Listening Use your own body language and gestures to show that you are engaged.
Encourage the speaker to continue with small
verbal comments like yes, and "uh huh." 3. Provide Feedback Our personal filters, assumptions, judgments, and beliefs can distort what we hear. As a listener, your role is to understand what is being said. This may require you to reflect on what is being said and to ask questions. 4. Defer Judgment Interrupting is a waste of time. It frustrates the speaker and limits full understanding of the message. 5. Respond Appropriately
Active listening is designed to
encourage respect and understanding. You are gaining information and perspective. You add nothing by attacking the speaker or otherwise putting her down.
