Active Listening 1.Pay attention 2.Show that you are listening 3.Provide feedback 4.Defer judgment 5.Respond appropriately

Pay Attention Give the speaker your undivided attention, and acknowledge the message. Recognize that non- verbal communication also "speaks" loudly. –Look at the speaker directly. –Put aside distracting thoughts. Don't mentally prepare a rebuttal! –Avoid being distracted by environmental factors. –"Listen" to the speaker's body language. –Refrain from side conversations when listening in a group setting.

Show that you are listening… Use your own body language and gestures to convey your attention. –Nod occasionally. –Smile and use other facial expressions. –Note your posture and make sure it is open and inviting. –Encourage the speaker to continue with small verbal comments like yes, and uh huh.

Provide Feedback Our personal filters, assumptions, judgments, and beliefs can distort what we hear. As a listener, your role is to understand what is being said. This may require you to reflect what is being said and ask questions.Our personal filters, assumptions, judgments, and beliefs can distort what we hear.
