Becoming an Active Listener
There are five key elements of active listening. They all help you
ensure that you hear the other person, and that the other personknows you are hearing what they are saying.
1.Pay attention.
Give the speaker your undivided attention and acknowledge the
message. Recognize that what is not said also speaks loudly.•Look at the speaker directly.
•Put aside distracting thoughts. Don’t mentally prepare a
rebuttal!
• Avoid being distracted by environmental factors.•“Listen” to the speaker’s body language.
•Refrain from side conversations when listening in a group
setting.

2.Show that you are listening.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.

3.Provide feedback.
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’mhearing 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.

4.Defer judgment.
Interrupting is a waste of time. It frustrates the speaker and
limits full understanding of the message.• Allow the speaker to finish.
•Don’t interrupt with counter -arguments.
5.Respond Appropriately.
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 as he or she would want to be
treated.
