Active Listening Skills

Show that you are listening to the person and are interested in their point of view. Active listening includes; Attending Questioning Encouraging Paraphrasing Reflecting Summarising

Attending Non verbal behaviours that show you are listening and interested. Body language; Face squarely slightly angled Open posture Lean Eye contact Relaxed Be aware of your own emotional state. If you are uncomfortable you may be showing it and effecting the communication.

Questioning is used to help establish rapport, to get information, or to open up possibilities. Open and closed questions Open Questions Are questions that seek more than just direct answers. They ask for the person to think and look at what is going on for them. Examples might be; What was going on for you when that happened? How did that make you feel? What do you think about that? Closed Questions Are used to illicit information or clarify points. Examples might be; How old where you when that happened? Do you see them much now? Avoid leading questions!!

Encouraging Physical and verbal information that you are listening and that what they are saying is important. Nodding your head Aha’s Maintaining visual contact Positive expressions

Paraphrasing Restating and feeding back the client’s own words in a shortened form. So your dealer scammed you? So you’re late because the bus broke down? Use some of their own words – be careful not to sound fake. These are questions though, you are checking your understanding whilst echoing what is being said.

Reflecting Stating the feelings within the clients message. This needs to be read from both words and body language. This is a question not a fact. It seems like… It sounds as though …. Have you ever thought that …. Feelings can be threatening to some clients.

Summarising A summary of what has been said including any new discoveries as a result of reflection and paraphrasing. Key issues not the whole conversation. Involves feedback from the client.
