Last some days, I said about some tips to become a good listener? Now we will come to other tips to improve your listen skill.
Gestures, facial expressions, and eye-movements are all important.
In fact, we don’t just listen with our ears but also with our eyes so to become a good listener, you should watch and pick up the additional information being transmitted via non-verbal communication.
6. Be Patient
Be patient and let the speaker continue in their own time, sometimes it takes time to formulate what to say and how to say it.
Never interrupt or finish a sentence for someone.
7. Listen for Ideas – Not Just Words
To become a good listener, you need to get the whole picture, not just isolated bits and pieces.
One of the most difficult aspects of listening is the ability to link together pieces of information to reveal the ideas of others. With proper concentration, letting go of distractions, and focus this becomes easier.
8. Avoid Personal Prejudice
Everybody has a different way of speaking, some people are more nervous or shy than others, some have regional accents or make excessive arm movements, some people like to pace whilst talking - others like to sit still.
Try to be impartial. Don't become irritated and don't let the person’s habits or mannerisms distract you from what they are really saying.
Focus on what is being said and try to ignore styles of delivery.
9. Listen to the Tone
A good speaker will use both volume and tone to their advantage to keep an audience attentive; everybody will use pitch, tone and volume of voice in certain situations – let these help you to understand the emphasis of what is being said.
The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention...
