IMPROVING YOUR LISTENING SKILLS
• Look beyond the speakers style– Don’t judge the message by the speaker but by
the argument– Ask yourself what the speaker knows and you
don’t– Decrease the emotional impact of what is being
said.

• Fight distractions– Close doors– Turn off radios or televisions– Move closer to the speaker– Don’t interrupt– Hold your rebuttal until you’ve heard the entire
message.

• Provide feedback– Let the speaker know that you are paying
attention.– Maintaining eye contact – Offer appropriate facial expressions– Paraphrase what you’ve heard.– Keep all the criticism and feedback positive.

• Listen actively– Listen for concepts, ideas and facts.– Analyse the key points– Keep an open mind– Ask questions that clarify– Reserve judgement until the
speaker has finished.– Take meaningful notes that
are brief and to the point.
