how to develop active listening skills?
If you do, then it’s time you changed this habit of yours. If you want others to listen to you, then you need to listen to others as well. The first step is to assess your interpersonal communication skills to find out how good you are at listening. If people around you complain about you being a bad listener, take it seriously. Here are some active listening skills exercises that you must follow in order to improve your listening skills. Be Attentive When someone is talking to you, don’t let your thoughts drift away. There is a difference between listening and appearing to be listening to someone. Stay relaxed and listen to the person and try to understand what he/she is saying.
