7 Keys to Better Listening

1. Listening is NOT a passive activity!
2. Listen for unspoken fears, concerns, moods, and aspirations.
3. Good listening requires great wisdom.
4. Listen to others with respect and validation.
5. Listen without thinking about how you're going to respond.
6. Listen for tell-tale signs of impending trouble.
7. Listen with positive regard for people's strengths & abilities.

The author's study came to the conclusion that if we are better listeners, we become better communicators, a lot like what we learned in class today. The author of this website, who wrote his article from 1995-2002, may find some new things that need to be added with this new year of 2008. With technology becoming one of our main ways of communication; it calls for new evidence & study!

I really enjoyed this website, because it went hand in hand with what we talked about in class today!
