“Listen Up: How to Improve Relationships, Reduce Stress, and be
More Productive by Using the Power of Listening”
by Larry Barker and Kittie Watson
"The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was
when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer"
Henry David Thoreau
QUICK OVERVIEW:
Unlike other communication skills such as reading and writing, listening is usually viewed
as an innate process that requires only the ability to hear. Unfortunately, the ability to hear
does not guarantee the ability to listen. Listening impacts the quality of relationships, job
success, and personal growth. Research has consistently demonstrated that ineffective
listening habits present the most common barriers to success in relationships and careers.
People with listening skills not only advance faster, they create a ‘feel-good’ atmosphere
around them - when we feel listened to and understood, our stress levels fall.
Fortunately, listening skills can be developed and learned. This document summarized the
tips sprinkled throughout the book to help you become a better listener. And always
remember: when everything else fails, listen!
CONTENT:
Three Common Dangerous Assumptions about Listening
1. Speakers control communication more than listeners. In reality, listeners control the
dialogue. Speakers cannot force others to listen.
2. We can listen well when we really have to. In reality, listening harder doesn’t
necessarily mean listening better; and listeners overestimate how much information
they remember. Research on retention has found that most people remember less
than 50% of what was said immediately after a 10-min talk.
3. When we start talking, others start listening. In reality, when we begin to talk, we
often forget that others may not be prepared to listen. Most of us need at least a few
seconds to get on track when someone else begins to speak.
How We Give Up Listening Power
Tuning out.
Becoming self-involved. Example: forgetting someone’s name during an
introduction.
Jumping to conclusions. Often we automatically stop listening when someone
expresses an opinion different from our own.
2. “There is an art in listening. To be able to listen one must abandon or put aside
all prejudices, pre-formulations, and daily activities. When you are in receptive
state of mind, things can be easily understood; you are listening when your real
attention is given to something. But unfortunately we listen through a screen of
resistance.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti, The First and Last Freedom

Top 10 Irritating Listening Habits
Interrupting the speaker
Not looking at the speaker
Rushing the speaker and making him feel that he’s wasting listener’s time
Showing interest in something other than the conversation
Getting ahead of the speaker and fisnighing her thoughts
Not responding to the speaker’s requests
Saying “yes, but…” as if the listener has made up his mind
Topping the speaker’s story with “that reminds me…” or “that’s nothing, let me tell
you about…”
Forgetting what was talked about previously
Asking too many questions about details
The Portrait of the Person with Excellent Listening Skills
In Harvard Management Update, the authors presented the following portrait of an
effective listener.
You are sitting there looking at the customer, asking probing questions and giving
him or her more than enough time to answer. You are clearly communicating the
importance of every word you hear by taking notes, leaning toward the speaker, and
nodding to show you understand or agree. In other words, you are absorbing
information like a sponge and doing everything but talk – to let the person know
that’s what you are doing.
Tips for Effective Listening
Quiet your inner voice. Throughout the day, our inner voice never stops talking.
Your inner voice is the loudest sound in your world, and it often gets in the way of
your relationships with others. Quieting the inner voice long enough to really listen
3. to others is a challenge. The key to regulating our inner voice is to work from an
“other-centered” rather than “self-centered” listening perspective.
Don’t yield to distractions. To control internal and external distractions:
o Remove or reduce distractions (turn off TV or machines making noise, etc)
o Sit or move closer to the speaker
o Minimize interruptions by finding the private environment
o Take notes
o Look at the speaker frequently
o Be rested before beginning to listen – your energy level is important
Stop daydreaming. If the speed of the speaker is too slow, use extra thought-speed
time to summarize what you have just heard or evaluate information.
Don’t get emotional. When emotions take over, they tend to override logic and
shut down our listening process. If it is another person who is in an emotional state
of mind, it is best to avoid talking until after the person has calmed down. To stop
emotions from taking over:
o Be aware in advance of people and topics that trigger emotions
o Analyze why you react to some words and ideas emotionally
o Resist the temptation to get defensive
o Empathize and remember that the speaker may have different meanings for
words than you do
o Withhold judgment until the speaker is finished
You don’t always have to have the last word.
Talk less. Talking too much often turns others off. When you want to impress
others and appear more powerful, learn to say less.
Know when to be silent and when to speak. To use the principle of silence
effectively:
o Pause a few seconds before responding
o Accept silence as a normal part of conversations
o Works to balance speaking and listening time during conversations
o Break eye contact momentarily to allow others to feel comfortable with
silence
Listen across time. When we use what we have heard in subsequent conversations,
we demonstrate we value people enough to remember what they said.
Remember people’s names. Here are a few tips:
o Repeat the name immediately after you hear it
o Use the name within 30 seconds after you hear it
o Associate the name with something or someone familiar
o Write the names down as soon as possible after hearing them
Use eye contact effectively. Through eye contact we observe and analyze feedback,
look for “turn-taking” cues that let us know when to enter conversations, show
empathy and interest, and reveal emotions. Beware though, eye contact needs to be
consistent, but not constant.
Make it easy for others to talk. Show encouragement through head nods, keeping
good eye contact, using silence constructively, and being sure not to interrupt. Keep
in mind that when you need to listen to someone with a halting communication
style, you may be tempted to jump in too soon. Remember these suggestions:
o Avoid interrupting
o Demonstrate patience
4. o Remain objective
o Show nonverbal encouragement through head nods and eye contact
o Use prompting phrases (“go ahead” and “and then?”)
Use paraphrasing and reflecting skills. There is a value in “empathic listening” –
paraphrasing reinforces that we retained the content of what the listener said while
demonstrating that we paid attention. By asking questions (or asking for specific
examples), restating, summarizing what has been said, testing for understanding
using phrases like “If I understand you correctly…”, we can make sure messages
have been interpreted accurately.
Learn to empathize and show empathy. Try to put yourself in other’s shoes.
Since it’s impossible to know exactly how others are thinking and feeling, we can
show empathy without assuming we really know how the speaker feels by using
phrases like:
o Could it be that…
o Correct me if I am wrong, but…
o Is it possible that…
o It appears that you…
o I get the impression that…
o It sounds like…
Giving and receiving feedback. Tips:
o Take time to prepare, collect necessary materials before meeting
o ensure privacy, select an environment that is quiet and comfortable
o To increase the odds of having others listen to and apply the feedback, focus
on one behavior at a time.
o Be specific
o Give feedback regularly and consistently
o Time feedback appropriately, be sensitive to your own and the other
person’s energy level
o Deliver feedback as succinctly as possible
