Today’s Motivation – Actively Listening

Actively Listening

One way to avoid misconceptions is to say, “So what I am hearing is…” and restating what the person has said to make sure you really understand. This works both in person and online. Clarifying questions will clear the air of any misunderstanding and have you communicating powerfully.

Today’s Motivation – Be an Attentive Listener

Be an Attentive Listener

In person: Learn to be an Attentive Listener. Your attentive listening honors and respects another. Basic Tips: Face your partner, make eye contact and show that you’re following along with a nod or an “I see…” and no interrupting.

Online: Learn to be an interested questioner and then “listen” thoughtfully for the answer. It is much more difficult to “listen” online because the subtle intonations and facial expressions are missing. So being crystal clear in your communication is essential. If you are not sure what the other is saying a phone call trumps a chat any time.
