What strategies can we use to listen actively? Responses should include five techniques.

1. Pay Attention

-Look at the speaker directly.

-Put aside distracting thoughts.

-Don't mentally prepare a rebuttal!

-Avoid being distracted by environmental factors. For example, side -conversations.

-"Listen" to the speaker's body language

2. Show That You're Listening

-Nod occasionally.

-Smile and use other facial expressions.

-Make sure that your posture is open and interested.

-Encourage the speaker to continue with small verbal comments like yes, and "uh huh."

3. Provide Feedback

-Reflect on what has been said by paraphrasing. "What I'm hearing is... ," and "Sounds like you are saying... ," are great ways to reflect back.

-Ask questions to clarify certain points. "What do you mean when you say... ." "Is this what you mean?"

-Summarize the speaker's comments periodically.

4. Defer Judgment

-Allow the speaker to finish each point before asking questions.

-Don't interrupt with counter arguments.

5. Respond Appropriately

-Be candid, open and honest in your response.

-Assert your opinions respectfully.

-Treat the other person in a way that you think she would want to be treated.
