ACTIVE Listening Becoming an Active Listener Presented by: Hillary Harding OIWC Development Director

Words account for 7% of the overall message Tone of voice accounts for 38% of the overall message Body Language accounts for 55% of the overall message - Research by Albert Mehrabian, 1971 Nonverbal Communication

1. Pay Attention 2. Show that you’re listening 3.Provide feedback 4.Defer judgment 5.Respond Appropriately Tools for Active Listening

Give the speaker your undivided attention "Listen" to the speaker's body language. Look at the speaker directly. Put aside distracting thoughts. Don't mentally prepare a rebuttal! Avoid being distracted by environmental factors. For example, side conversations Pay Attention

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. Show That You’re Listening

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. Reflect what has been said by paraphrasing. "What I'm hearing is," and "Sounds like you are saying," are great ways to reflect back. Ask questions to clarify certain points. "What do you mean when you say." "Is this what you mean?" Summarize the speaker's comments periodically. Provide Feedback

Interrupting is a waste of time. It frustrates the speaker and limits full understanding of the message. Allow the speaker to finish each point before asking questions. Don't interrupt with counter arguments. Defer Judgment

Active listening is a model for respect and understanding. You are gaining information and perspective. You add nothing by attacking the speaker or otherwise putting him or her down. Be candid, open, and honest in your response. Assert your opinions respectfully. Treat the other person in a way that you think he or she would want to be treated. Respond Appropriately

“You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time." — M. Scott Pec

“Listening is a threshold skill: if you don’t have it, you will fail, but having it doesn’t mean you will necessarily succeed.” – Amgen CEO, Kevin Sharer
