In a given verbal conversation between two people…. …..there are at least six people involved in the conversation

Ten Tools for Effectively Communicating with a Listener 1.Before you speak, draw out the other listener’s ideas.

2. Honor the listener Thank them for allowing you to speak!

3.Be courteous. Recognize that every person’s time is valuable!

4.Choose an appropriate forum and form of speaking. Decide what you want to communicate and choose the form of communication that does what you want!

5.Speak respectfully, responsively, empathically. Speak the way to others that you would like to be spoken to.

7.Anticipate objections and address them before they are raised.

8.Acknowledge differences and restate issues positively.

9.Focus on developing solutions

10.Compliment the other person for listening. Give positive reinforcement!

Listen for Understanding LEVEL 1 What’s in it for me? Rebuttal, self- interest, filtering. LEVEL 2 Where is the person coming from? What are they truly trying to say? Connect, silence self-talk. LEVEL 3 What is not being said that is important? Listen through the words.

Reflective Listening – The Fundamental Relationship Skill Provide eye contact Maintain an interested and open body posture Encourage the speaker with verbal and nonverbal support Use “door opening” questions to build trust Ask genuine questions Reflect back what they’ve said with empathy

1.Let go of your own ideas, roles and agendas, and try to understand what the other person is saying. 2.Search for the speaker’s meaning, especially if they disagree with you. 3.Respond respectfully, acknowledging and addressing the other person’s concerns first. Three Steps for Influencing and Persuading
