How to be a Good Listener
1) We have become a society of interrupting listeners
2) It is not necessary we wish to be rude
3) It is just getting overwhelmed by the deluge of information that we are expected to pack in and then respond
4) A Beautiful Solution is to have a Writing Pad and pen handy
5) Tell the speaker you will be taking notes
6) Imagine how the speaker will feel
7) Then keep jotting down the points that the speaker makes
8) This will make the speaker conscious of what he is speaking and that will enrich the message and keep it short
9) Then you repeat your observations as you have the note pad and are no longer relying on your memory
10) Then you can provide a meaningful response which too will be smart and to the point as your response is generated after absorbing and synthesising the speaker’s key points as noted by you
11) Try this an notice the transformation
