Improving listening skills
Collection of information about the setting, the topic and the speaker as preparation for listening.
Cultivating a positive attitude towards the speaker and the topic.
A listener has to keep an open mind, to understand what is being said and evaluate it with the context.
One has to concentrate on the matter being spoken, carefully identifying the main points.
Listen with eyes and not merely with ears i.e. observing non-verbal clues such as twinkle in the eye and gestures. The visual clues of the speaker help in understanding his attitude with the audience and points he is making.

Improving listening skills
Ignore distractions such as gaudy dress, odd body movements and speech mannerisms of the speaker.
Try to avoid interruptions, immature comments, direct advice particularly in seminars and meeting. Wait for your turn or till you are invited for comment and question.
Have patience while listening. Time lag between thinking and listening may lead to boredom as the speed of thinking is much more than speaking. Try to utilize this time gap in summarizing what was spoken earlier.
Take notes systematically.
