Hearing refers to the sounds you hear, whereas effective listening
requires concentration and the use of your other senses, not just
hearing the words spoken.

We Spend a lot of Time Listening
Adults spend an average of 70% of their time engaged in some sort of
communication, of this an average of 45% is spent listening compared
to 30% speaking, 16% reading and 9% writing. (Adler, R. et al. 2001).

3
Reasons for Listening
 We listen to obtain information

 We listen to understand
 We listen for enjoyment
 We listen to learn

Research on listening suggests that we remember between 25%
and 50% of what we hear. Listening is a skill we can all benefit
from improving.

 Don’t talk, listen.

“If we were supposed to talk more than we listen, we would have two tongues and one

thoughts and feelings
 Relax and focus on the speaker

7

“There is nothing so annoying as to have two people talking when you’re busy interrupting.
Mark Twain
