Active listening requires full attention from "summary" of Escuta Ativa by Lilly De Sisto
Active listening is a skill that is often underestimated. It is not just about hearing the words that someone is saying, but about truly paying attention to what is being said. This means giving the speaker your full attention, without distractions or interruptions. It requires being fully present in the moment, focusing on the speaker and their message.
When you are actively listening, you are not thinking about what you are going to say next or how you are going to respond. Instead, you are completely engaged in the conversation, absorbing the information and understanding the speaker's perspective. This level of attentiveness shows the speaker that you value what they have to say and that you are truly interested in hearing their thoughts and feelings.
Active listening involves more than just listening with your ears. It also involves listening with your eyes and your heart. This means paying attention to the speaker's body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. It means being attuned to their emotions and responding with empathy and understanding.
By giving the speaker your full attention, you are creating a safe space for them to express themselves openly and honestly. You are showing them that you are trustworthy and reliable, and that you are willing to listen without judgment or interruption. This can help to strengthen your relationship with the speaker and build trust and rapport.
In today's fast-paced world, it can be easy to get distracted and lose focus during conversations. However, by practicing active listening and giving your full attention to the speaker, you can improve your communication skills and deepen your connections with others. So next time you find yourself in a conversation, remember the importance of being fully present and engaged. Your efforts will not go unnoticed.
