1. PAY ATTENTION to another speaker so you are learning
about that person’s thoughts.
Needs Change ….. Could Be Better ….. I’m Good Already …..
2. IGNORE THE “CHATTER” IN YOUR HEAD that
prevents you from listening to someone else.
Needs Change ….. Could Be Better ….. I’m Good Already …..
3. ASK QUESTIONS about what the other person is trying to
tell you, so you are helping the speaker and yourself to a
deeper understanding of what you are talking about.
Needs Change ….. Could Be Better ….. I’m Good Already …..
4. SHOW THAT YOU ARE LISTENING CAREFULLY WITH
CALM AND FOCUSED BODY LANGUAGE. Keep your eyes
on the other person. Don’t fiddle with objects or frequently
change position.
Needs Change ….. Could Be Better ….. I’m Good Already …..
5. REFLECT BACK TO THE PERSON WHAT YOU THINK
THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY. Try to appreciate the person’s
willingness to talk, even if you still disagree.
Needs Change ….. Could Be Better ….. I’m Good Already …..
6. TRY NOT TO INTERRUPT. Give the person time to finish
expressing their thoughts.
Needs Change ….. Could Be Better ….. I’m Good Already …..
