Listening Skills

listing_skillMost people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

Stephen R. Covey

  • Are you maintaining eye contact with the person you are speaking to?
  • Are you asking questions when you do not understand?
  • Are you enlarging on the speaker’s ideas and showing your interest?
  • Are you allowing others to express ideas without interruption?
  • Are you paying attention to the body language used by the speaker?
  • Are you sensitive to the speaker’s agenda?
  • Do you concentrate on what the speaker is actually saying, not letting your mind wander?
  • Are you aware of how your own emotions may color what the speaker is saying?

Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don’t believe is right.

Jane Goodall

When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen.

Ernest Hemingway

I remind myself every morning: Nothing I say this day will teach me anything. So if I’m going to learn, I must do it by listening.

Larry King
