Mindful Listening

Listening when someone else speaks is not as easy as one may think. It’s easy to get distracted within our own thoughts and forming an opinion from what we are hearing. Mindful listening is being fully present when interacting with others. Experience higher quality conversations with others by:

  • Paying full attention to what the person is saying.
  • Let them know we are paying attention by showing interest through eye contact, nodding and smiling.

Instead of offering advice or explaining our perceptions, just listen and ask question that help the speaker explore their feelings and experiences.
