BLOCKS TO LISTENING rehearsing being right mind reading judging comparing derailing identifying filtering sparring placating dreaming

Comparing constantly comparing yourself to the other person, checking to see if you measure up in terms of intelligence, wit, emotional stability, competence, or even level of suffering or children's achievements. • Mind Reading what you think someone "really means" (based primarily on your own feelings, assumptions, or hunches) than to what he or she is actually saying. • Rehearsing planning your response to what someone is saying to you while the other person is still speaking. • Filtering tuning out certain topics or you may hear only certain things and tune everything else out,any possible hint of unhappiness, no matter what he actually says.

Judging if you decide ahead of time that the other person is not worth hearing (because he or she is "stupid," "crazy,"'"hypocritical," or " immature"), and that you will therefore listen only in order to confirm your opinion. • Dreaming you pay only a fraction of your attention to the person talking; inside, your thoughts are wandering elsewhere. • identifying whatever you hear from the other person triggers memories of your own similar experiences, and you can't wait to.jump into your own story. • Advising Jumping in with advice when the other person has barely stopped talking (or before)

Sparring If you listen only long enough to find something to disagree with, and then assert your position-—regardless of what the other person says. • Being Right If you want to prove that you're right or to avoid the suggestion that you're wrong— including lying, shouting, twisting the facts, changing the subject, making excuses, and accusing • Derailing changing the subject or make a joke whenever you become bored or uncomfortable with the conversation. • Placating being so concerned with being nice, agreeable, or liked that without really listening you agree with everything being said.

Active Listening The process of recognizing, understanding, and accurately interpreting communicated messages and responding to spoken and/or nonverbal messages.

Tips to become a better listener • Don’t talk – listen. • Don’t jump to conclusions. • Listen between the lines. • Ask questions/paraphrase. • Don’t get distracted by the environment. • Keep an open mind. • Be willing to listen to someone else’s point of view and ideas. • Provide feedback. • Take advantage of your brain power.

Improving Verbal Communication-Tips • Eliminate Noise • Get Feedback – Verbal & Body Signals • Speak Slowly & Rephrase your sentence • Don’t Talk down to the other person • Listen Carefully & Patiently

Improving Body Language - Tips • Keep appropriate distance • Touch only when appropriate • Take care of your appearance • Be aware - people may give false cues • Maintain eye contact • Smile genuinely
