„5 Ways to Listen Better‟
Review – Julian Treasure‟s
TEDTalk
Do you remember his 5
suggestions for how we can be
better listeners?
Absolute silence for 3 minutes a day
Listen for „channels of sound‟ when you are in a noisy place (“How many individual sounds can I hear right now?”)
Savouring: try to enjoy the sounds you hear, even if they don‟t seem that interesting or pleasant
Consider your listening positions: Are you being passive or active? Reductive or expansive? Criticial or empathetic?
RASA: Receive, Appreciate, Summarize, Ask
(=pay attention, make noises and use gestures to show you understand: “Uh-huh”, “OK”, “So…”, ask questions.)
Try to apply „RASA‟ as you share your news
stories & discuss current events with each
other.
