Pay Attention
The most significant feature is to be attentive and engaged with the speaker and the whole conversation.
Subtle body language, such as nodding, making eye contact and leaning forward create a difference to someone who’s sharing their feelings.

Stay silent
As you start listening, Just stay silent, as you are in a position of understanding another person’s situation/feelings.
- What background were they in?

Refrain from solutions
Most of the time, speakers only want to let their emotions out in front of a listener, but they are not asking for solutions from the listener.

Be cautious with personal experiences
Being empathetic in conversations is another key to become a good listener.
However, there might be cases that the speaker is sharing the same experiences you had before. You might somehow overcome it, but the speaker hasn’t.
You may use your own experiences to show your relation to the event with the speaker, but similar to the previous point, try to avoid suggesting solutions that worked for you since they might not work well for them

Ask correctly
When people are sharing their situations with you, it is crucial to show your concern in the right way.
Questions with “Why” may make the respondent feel forced to come up with an explanation when they perhaps may not have one.

Be reflective
The act of listening does not necessarily equal hearing.
It includes interpreting the speaker’s messages.
A useful way is to keep track of the conversation is by repeating and clarifying what the speaker has said.

Show your support
Speakers tell you their events because they trust you.
If speakers see you as listeners, you can appreciate their trust and courage by showing them support through conversations.

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!

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!
