Slide 4 Welcome, my name is Ceit De Vitto. I will be your instructor today. I just wanted to take a moment and give you a little background about me. I am a District Field Marketing Manager for Samsung. I have been with the team for about 3 ½ years. I love my home market of Boston. I am a native Bostonian, if you haven’t noticed my accent already. And no, I don’t want to “Park my car in Harvard Yard,”

because there is no place to park in Harvard Yard, and I don’t want the parking ticket. I received my M.E.d from the University of Massachusetts at Boston, it’s located on the banks of the lovely outer Boston Harbor. I live in a small community about an hour outside of Boston called Fairhaven. I live in walking distance, from New Bedford harbor. If you haven’t guessed I love the water and anything connected to it. I wanted to teach this course because Listen Skills are the most important skills, but the least taught.

Lack of communication is one of the leading causes of divorce. Non-Work related
Lack of communication is one of the leading causes of divorce. A marriage is on the rocks when the lines of communication fail. You can’t have an effective relationship if either one of you won’t discuss your feelings, can’t talk about your mutual or personal issues, will keep your resentments simmering under wraps, and expect your partner to guess what the whole problem is about

Overview of different type of listening.
These are Listening Skills buzz words. If you Google Listening Skills or go to the local bookstore you will find many different books on Listening. Many of the authors of these publications use the terms Effective, Active, Empathic, or Reflective. All are equally as good and all have a common theme, and that is be sincere, really listen to the person, and don’t judge. In the next section we will talk more about how to be a good listener, this is just to show you there are different styles of learning about listening. Don’t worry you won’t have to memorize all of them

How we listen to others – I took this from a book on coaching skills. It was a way for coaches to see how they were listening to the person that they were coaching. They went on to other levels, that you can read about in the PDF of the chapter. I thought it was interesting because sometimes I feel myself listening to others at level one, two or three, but I have to admit that sometimes getting past level one is very hard. Level One: Internal Listening/ All about the Listener - My thoughts, my judgments, my feelings - All about *me* Level Two: Focused Listening- Sharp Focus on the other person - It's the level of Empathy Level Three: Global Listening - Where the person that you are speaking to is the center of the universe - You not only hear what they are saying with empathy, but you use your other senses as well.

Slide 30 Listening barriers will stop a conversation, make grown people cry, and start wars. Listening is a powerful tool. As Stephen Covey states, Most people do not listen with intent to understand, they listen with the intent to reply. In this section you will learn what listening barriers are: Autobiographical Responses Robert Bolton’s Roadblocks Other Barriers Bad Listeners
Activity – Poll Question: Do you listen with the intent to reply? Yes or No If I don’t catch myself, I will do this.
Most people do not listen with the
intent to understand, they listen with
the intent to reply,

Slide 32 Four Responses – Stephen Covey Habit #5
• Evaluating: You judge and then either agree or disagree. • Probing: You ask questions from your own frame of reference • Advising: You give counsel, advice, and solutions to problems. • Interpreting: You analyze others' motives and behaviors based on your
own experiences. These are natural responses. He says that they are autobiographical because they come from the point of view of the listener and not what the talker is looking to hear. These are barriers because it’s inserting *you* into their story, their reason for talking, and they might not be willing to open up. You aren’t understanding them if you insert *you*.
Four Autobiographical responses
• Evaluating: You judge and then either
agree or disagree.
• Probing: You ask questions from your
own frame of reference
• Advising: You give counsel, advice, and
solutions to problems.
• Interpreting: You analyze others' motives
and behaviors based on your own
experiences.
Slide 33 Robert Bolton wrote a very successful book on Communication called People Skills. I would encourage everyone to read this book, because it talks about the other parts of communication as well as listening.
Robert Bolton's Roadblocks

Slide 34 According to Bolton Judging is a Major Roadblock –
• 1. Criticizing • 2. Name-Calling and Labeling • 3. Diagnosing • 4. Praising Evaluatively

Roadblock 13 Bolton says – When people are introduced to the roadblocks, a fairly typical reaction is, “That’s just what my husband has been doing all these years! Wait till I tell him about the roadblocks he sends.” .. This is Roadblock Thirteen telling the other people they are sending roadblocks. Roadblock Thirteen belongs in the judgment category.

They keep an open, curious mind
They listen for new ideas
They are aware
Listen from the heart
Perspective on what is occurring

They are introspective – and are willing to transform
Attention is on the talker while listening with feelings and intuition This is a list of a way in which you can become a better listener

Slide 50 This book explores how to talk about those difficult conversations that we rather not have. They encourage people to inquire, paraphrase and acknowledge the other person – They also suggest leaving emotions at the door and exploring each other’s stories. I recommend this book Difficult Conversations - It’s on the Further reading list - This slide is from Chapter 9 Learning: Listening form the Inside and Chapter 5 Have Your Feelings (or they will have you)
