Listening “No one cares to speak to an unwilling listener. An arrow never lodges in a stone: often it recoils upon the sender of it.”

Listening and Hearing • What is the difference between listening and hearing? • How do you know if someone is listening to you?
Reflective Listening • When the listener mirrors back the thoughts and/or feelings the speaker is experiencing. • “Are you saying …” • “You seem …” • If the listener is wrong then the speaker can restate in a different way.
Listening Blocks • I must defend my position. • I’m looking for an entrance into the conversation. • I don’t have time to listen to you. • I already know what you have to say. • I know what you should do.
Active Listening • Ask questions, not with yes, no or one word answers. • Use appropriate eye contact. • Not if understand or ask for clarification. • Don’t cross arms or legs or lean back. • Lean slightly forward. • Facial expressions and tone of voice. • Be honest and sincere.
