5 Ways to Become a Better Listener



How to become a better listener.

1. Stop Thinking- Be in the moment and hear what the person is saying.

2. Mirror Body Language- We do this subconsciously a lot of times but you start to do it more when you are aware of it. Don't mock the person just match them with at least a 3 second delay.

3. Scanning Eye Method- Keep eye contact by looking at the forehead, noise and chin of the person talking. This is good if you are uncomfortable with direct eye contact.

4. Repeat what they say in a question form to clarify you are listening.

5.Compliment the person on the thought or subject even if you object to their point. There is always something you can say nice.
