13. Listening game: Before you begin the debrief ask the listeners and speakers to sit in a row facing each other, the listeners in one row and the speakers in the other. 1.First ask the listeners to respond to the following questions: How do you feel? What are you learning? 2. You'll hear about all the behaviors and feelings that you noticed while the game was in progress. 3. While the speakers want to share too, try and contain them till it's their turn to respond to the debrief questions. 4. Once again you will hear about the observations that you made earlier.

14. 5. You'll also sense amazement and hear sheepish laughter at the discoveries they have made about themselves. 6. They will express learning like: 'I realize that I have done this with quite a few people and when it happened to me I did not like it at all. I have decided that I will never ignore people again.' 'I felt lousy not being able to listen to my partner especially when she was sharing something so important.‘ 7. Some of the other learning that you need to gently bring home to them It is not every time people have something earth shattering to share. Yet whatever they do want to share is important to them and so worth listening to.

15. It is also insensitive for speakers to go ahead and share whatever they want to even if the listener is not paying attention to them. It would be more fruitful if speakers listen to the body language of the listeners and deal with that first, sensitively of course. They need to take time to find out what's keeping the listener from listening. Not listening (either to the verbal message or the non-verbal message) is the malaise that has affected society. This malaise has resulted in competing relationships rather than in collaborative synergistic relationships.
