• Before you can get the most out of a listening situation, others
must first believe that you really want to listen. They must feel
that when they tell you something, it will be received by you in
the proper spirit.
• Learn to listen beyond the words, with your heart as well as your
ears.
• Observe the signs of the inner feelings such as voice quality,
facial expressions, body posture and motions, etc. These
actions are revealing, and sometimes may have an opposite
meaning from the spoken word.
• A friend put it this way: "You listened as if you wanted to hear
what I was going to say, as if it was really important to you. And
that makes me feel good!"
