Download or read book How to Improve Your Listening Skills Effective Strategies for Enhancing Your Active Listening Skills written by Meir Liraz and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-10 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us are acquainted with the old riddle that goes: "If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is in the area to hear it, does it make a noise?" From a communication point of view, the answer must be a definite "No." Even though there are sound waves, there is no sound because no one perceives it. For communication to take place, there must be both a sender and a receiver. This guide is focused on the receiver - the one who provides feedback to the sender. Most people spend roughly 70% of their waking hours in some form of verbal communication. Yet, how many of us have ever had any formal training in the art of listening? This guide will teach you everything you need to know in order to be an effective listener. My name is Meir Liraz and I'm the author of this book. According to Dun & Bradstreet, 90% of all business failures analyzed can be traced to poor management. This is backed up by my own experience. In my 31 years as a business coach and consultant to businesses, I've seen practically dozens of business owners fail and go under -- not because they weren't talented or smart enough -- but because they were trying to re-invent the wheel rather than rely on proven, tested methods that work. And that is where this book can help, it will teach you how to avoid the common traps and mistakes and do everything right the first time. Table of Contents: 1. Introduction 2. What Listening Is 3. Guides to Effective Listening 4. Barriers to Effective Listening 5. Limit Your Own Talking 6. Effective Listening Tips

Book excerpt: Everyone can be a better listener. Using the concepts of what we think, feel, and do about listening, Dr. Kline promotes the need for honing this often neglected communication skill. He presents logical, practical methods that will help you to become a better listener in your personal and professional life in everyday and critical situations.Listening is the neglected communication skill. While all of us have had instruction in reading, writing, and speaking, few have had any formal instruction in listening. This void in our education is especially interesting in light of research showing that most of us spend seven of every 10 minutes we are awake in some form of communication activity. Of these seven minutes (or 70 percent of the time we are awake), 10 percent is spent writing, 15 percent reading, 30 percent talking, and 45 percent listening.

Download or read book Effective Listening written by Sorin Dumitrascu and published by . This book was released on 2017-02-10 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you have problems truly listening? Do you find your mind wandering in the middle of conversations? Then this series in "Effective Listening" is for you!This course, "Listening Basics," is the first in a series of courses to help you understand how you listen and how you can improve your listening skills.This course covers the three essential aspects for understanding how you listen. The three lessons in this course are:*"The Communication Process"*"The Listening Process"*"Listening as a Function of Communication."According to a U.S. Department of Labor study "Skills and the New Economy," the average worker spends 55 percent of the day listening. Listening activities include using the telephone, engaging in conversation, and listening while in meetings and presentations. Unfortunately, most people fail to listen effectively and only remember 25 percent of what they hear. Could you listen more effectively at work?In dollar terms, it is extremely important for companies and employees to take listening seriously. One communications analyst has estimated that business personnel receive 63 percent of their salary for listening.Once you understand the listening process, you can learn and then practice listening skills. Training and practice can enhance your present listening skills. Otherwise, listening mistakes can cost your company clients and profits, and can decrease production.Imagine a trucking company dispatcher misunderstanding Albany, New York for Albany, Georgia. Such a simple listening error could cost a company thousands of dollars to redirect a truck and its goods.Better listening skills will prevent you from making expensive or embarrassing mistakes. This course will enable you to begin improving your listening ability."We need a definite purpose, a specific reason for listening, otherwise we don't pay attention and don't really hear or understand."--Robert MontgomeryOne of the key elements of communication is listening. If you have developed good listening skills, it will be easier for you to pay attention, hear and understand messages.You can learn to be a more effective listener by learning specific listening skills. These skills can reinforce, improve, or change your present listening behavior in a variety of situations.This course, the second in the "Effective Listening" path, focuses on getting the most information possible out of a message.So, how do you listen for comprehension? First, you should be able to identify and interpret verbal and nonverbal cues that add context to a verbal message. Second, you should also be able to comprehend the meaning of the speaker's verbal message. Your comprehension is based on understanding what you hear and what you need to ask questions about.This course covers the following lessons that will help you develop better listening skills: *"Identifying Verbal and Nonverbal Cues"*"Interpreting Cues"*"Understanding What You Hear"*"Checking Your Understanding"*"Understanding in Special Listening Situations"Because this course teaches listening skills, it is important to have your audio turned on for certain sections. In some instances, the text that is spoken will display in the caption text box. In these cases, the important feature is not what is said, but how it is said. In these sections, it would be most effective for you to turn off the captions to get the full effect of the audio. In other instances, audio is presented without accompanying text. To complete these sections, you must have your audio turned on.Listening to identify and comprehend messages helps you become a more effective communicator. When you can better understand what's said to you, you can become a more flexible listener.

Download or read book Active Listening written by Sue Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we think of effective communication we tend to have in mind the idea of getting our message across, making sure that what we have to say is received loud and clear. However, communication is a two-way process, so being an effective listener is also a key part of effective communication. People are more likely to listen to you if you are listening to them, so everyone benefits from effective listening. But it isn't enough to listen - you have to show that you are listening. And that is precisely what is meant by active listening. If people are not convinced that you are listening, then the benefits of paying attention to what they are saying will be lost. So, if success in your line of work or in your life more broadly depends on effective communication, then there is much to be gained from studying this short guide to active listening where you will learn not only why it is so important, but also find out about the fundamentals of putting active listening into practice. It is surprising how many people undermine their own effectiveness by not listening actively. This e-book will help to ensure that you are not one of them.

Book excerpt: Getting through to someone is a critical, fine art. Whether you are dealing with a harried colleague, a stressed-out client, or an insecure spouse, things will go from bad to worse if you can't break through emotional barricades and get your message thoroughly communicated and registered. Drawing on his experience as a psychiatrist, business consultant, and coach, author Mark Goulston combines his background with the latest scientific research to help you turn the “impossible” and “unreachable” people in their lives into allies, devoted customers, loyal colleagues, and lifetime friends. In Just Listen, Goulston provides simple yet powerful techniques you can use to really get through to people including how to: make a powerful and positive first impression; listen effectively; make even a total stranger (potential client) feel understood; talk an angry or aggressive person away from an instinctual, unproductive reaction and toward a more rational mindset; and achieve buy-in--the linchpin of all persuasion, negotiation, and sales. Whether they're coworkers, friends, strangers, or enemies, the first make-or-break step in persuading anyone to do anything is getting them to hear you out. The invaluable principles in Just Listen will get you through that first tough step with anyone. With this groundbreaking book, you will be able to master the fine but critical art of effective communication.

Book excerpt: When was the last time you listened to someone, or someone really listened to you? "If you’re like most people, you don’t listen as often or as well as you’d like. There’s no one better qualified than a talented journalist to introduce you to the right mindset and skillset—and this book does it with science and humor." -Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take **Hand picked by Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain, and Daniel Pink for Next Big Ideas Club** "An essential book for our times." -Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone At work, we’re taught to lead the conversation. On social media, we shape our personal narratives. At parties, we talk over one another. So do our politicians. We’re not listening. And no one is listening to us. Despite living in a world where technology allows constant digital communication and opportunities to connect, it seems no one is really listening or even knows how. And it’s making us lonelier, more isolated, and less tolerant than ever before. A listener by trade, New York Times contributor Kate Murphy wanted to know how we got here. In this always illuminating and often humorous deep dive, Murphy explains why we’re not listening, what it’s doing to us, and how we can reverse the trend. She makes accessible the psychology, neuroscience, and sociology of listening while also introducing us to some of the best listeners out there (including a CIA agent, focus group moderator, bartender, radio producer, and top furniture salesman). Equal parts cultural observation, scientific exploration, and rousing call to action that's full of practical advice, You're Not Listening is to listening what Susan Cain's Quiet was to introversion. It’s time to stop talking and start listening.
