Some people find themselves at the brink of disaster just because they failed to listen. Here are ways you can practice your listening skills on a daily basis.
1. Maintain good eye contact. Face the person talking to you and be attentive. (Put down the newspaper; turn off the TV or PC).
2. Sit attentively. For a few minutes, act as if nothing else in the world matters except hearing out the person communicating to you. Block all other distractions from your mind. Lean forward in your chair as if you are hanging on every word.
3. Show interest in what you are about to hear. Raise your eyebrows, nod your head in agreement, smile or laugh when appropriate.
4. Sprinkle your attentive listening with appropriate phrases to show interest and understanding. “I agree.” “Is that so?” “Great!” “I understand what you mean” The person talking to you would like to know you understand the ideas being presented.
5. Ask well-phrased questions. Give encouragement by asking questions that illustrate your interest.
6. Listen a little longer. Just when you think you are through listening, listen 30 seconds longer.
