The Importance of Active Listening

If you want to be a good communicator, you need to be a good listener. The book defines "Active listening" which is the process of paying attention to what someone is saying, both verbally and nonverbally. It means understanding their words, their tone of voice, and their body language. When you are actively listening, you are showing the other person that you respect them and that you care about what they have to say.

Wanting to be heard is a desire common to all human beings. When we are not heard, we feel frustrated, angry, and alone. Active listening can help to prevent these negative feelings and build stronger relationships.

• They are not making eye contact with you.
• They are fidgeting or looking around the room.
• They are interrupting you.
• They are changing the subject.
• They are not asking you any questions.
• Their body language is closed off.

If you see any of these signs, it is likely that the person is not listening to you. It is important to be aware of these signs so that you can address them.
