How to Listen Actively
Step 1: Listen to Understand
Focus on the speaker, maintain sufficient eye contact, and listen with
the intention of fully understanding what the other person thinks and
feels.
Step 2: Clear Your Mind and Remain Silent
Don’t be distracted by judgmental thoughts, stay focused, and be quiet.
Listen to the entire message including tone of voice, gestures,
and expressions (non-verbal gestures). You need to receive 100%
of the speaker’s message. Sit forward, and periodically acknowledge the speaker.
