Being A Great Listener
- Focus on what’s being said instead of how it affects you or what you want to say.
- Put away your phone. It’s rude and multitasking takes away from comprehension.
- Ask follow-up and confirmation questions. This shows you’re listening and care about what’s been said.
- Practice reflective listening. Paraphrase in your own words the meaning of what’s being said to guarantee you’ve interpreted it correctly. By doing this, you give the speaker the opportunity to clarify what she meant to say.
- Use positive body language: Use an enthusiastic tone, uncross your arms, maintaining eye contact.
- Don’t judge. This doesn’t require that you believe or agree with them, it only means you understand.
- Talk less. If not checking for understanding or asking a probing question, you shouldn’t be talking.

Listening influences up to 40% of a leader’s job performance
Beyond the spoken words, the tone of voice, body language, and what isn’t said also convey valuable information.
But most people overrate their listening skills.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
