Hear What People are Really Saying Listening is one of the most important skills you can
have. How well you listen has a major impact on your job effectiveness, and on the quality of your relationships with others.
We listen to obtain information. We listen to understand. We listen for enjoyment. We listen to learn.

Reflecting
THE CRATORS
10
The purpose is to pull important ideas, facts, etc. together, to establish a basis for further discussion and to review progress.
To do this restate, reflect and summarize major ideas and feelings.
“These seem to be the key ideas you have expressed…” “If I understand you, you feel this way about the situation…”
Be aware of your body language! If you really want to listen, you will act like a good listener.
Good listeners are like good catchers because they give their speakers a target and then move that target to capture the information that is being sent.

Daydreaming. Preparing our responses ahead of time. Thinking about other people, places or things.
Factors That Hinder Listening
THE CRATORS
13
Give the speaker your undivided attention, and acknowledge the message. Recognize that non-verbal communication also "speaks" loudly.
Look at the speaker directly. Put aside distracting thoughts. Don't mentally prepare a rebuttal! Avoid being distracted by environmental factors. For
example, side conversations. "Listen" to the speaker's body language.
Pay Attention
THE CRATORS
14
Use your own body language and gestures to convey your attention.
Nod occasionally. Smile and use other facial expressions. Note your posture and make sure it is open and inviting. Encourage the speaker to continue with small verbal
comments like yes, and uh huh.
Show That You're Listening
THE CRATORS
15
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 what is being said and ask questions.
Reflect what has been said by paraphrasing. "What I'm hearing is," and "Sounds like you are saying," are great ways to reflect back.
Ask questions to clarify certain points. "What do you mean when you say." "Is this what you mean?"
Summarize the speaker's comments periodically.
Provide Feedback
THE CRATORS
16
Interrupting is a waste of time. It frustrates the speaker and limits full understanding of the message.
Allow the speaker to finish each point before asking questions.
Don't interrupt with counter arguments.
Defer Judgment
THE CRATORS
17
Active listening is a model for respect and understanding. You are gaining information and perspective. You add nothing by attacking the speaker or otherwise putting him or her down.
Be candid, open, and honest in your response. Assert your opinions respectfully. Treat the other person in a way that you think he or she
would want to be treated.
Respond Appropriately

Increase listening span Take time to listen Listen between the lines Give your full attention Restate the message Listen for ideas and facts Don't monopolize
7Strategies to improve your listening skills.

1.Increase your listening span Try to resist the temptation to interrupt. Make sure the speaker has had a complete chance to make his
or her point before you speak. If you don't get the whole message, ask the speaker to repeat
what they said.
2.Take time to listen: • Don't put obvious limitations on your listening time - the speaker
will feel rushed.
3.Listen between the lines: • Don't just listen to what is being said.
Try to understand the attitudes, needs and motives behind word.

4.Give your full attention: • Nodding or interjecting occasionally to clarify a point lets the speaker
know you are interested.• If the speaker pauses briefly, don't rush to fill the silence. • Use open-ended questions to encourage elaboration.
5.Restate the message: • When you are sure that the speaker has finished, restate the main
points. • This is a good organizing strategy for you. • It also gives the speaker assurance that the message has been
received.

6.Listen for ideas as well as facts: • A good listener makes an effort to understand what the facts add up
to.
7.Don't monopolize: • Resist the urge to dominate a situation or to feel that you know
everything about a situation.• Be open to new ideas and allow the speaker to have his or her say.
