Learning to Listen
Do you think that you’re a good listener? Most people do, but in reality, very few people possess the skills necessary to be an effective listener.
Being an effective listener means listening to connect with and learn something new from a person, instead of just listening to respond. Being mindful of the way you’re communicating with your conversational partner will help you build relationships. At home, practicing effective listening will help develop resourceful, self-reliant kids. Being able to understand and discuss with your colleagues and those you lead or those who lead you can advance your career. Additionally, practicing mindful listening with your romantic partner will no doubt help foster a deeper bond.

Over 90% of the problems we encounter in our life can be overcome by effective communication of which effective listening is a big part.

We’re more distracted by technology and other gadgets than ever before, which means that it’s becoming easier to let our face-to-face communication fall by the wayside.
In this day and age, learning how to cut through the distractions and really listen to the words someone is saying is a skill many are lacking. If you’re looking to set yourself apart as a leader, a friend, a partner, or an employee, this is a skill that you definitely want to possess.
Effective listening is so critical that many top employers provide listening skills training to their employees. No surprises there as good listening usually does lead to better customer satisfaction, higher productivity, fewer mistakes, and more innovative work overall.
Without the ability to listen effectively, messages are easily misunderstood, communication breaks down, the sender of the message can become frustrated or irritated, and relationships crumble.
