Effective Communication Techniques (1)
{"Image DocumentName": "Effective Communication Techniques (1)", "Image ImageDescription": "Active listening. Attending fully to what the speaker is saying by focusing wholly on what is being said. Requires the listener to give full attention to the speaker until either the message has been received or the speaker has finished speaking. While communicating effectively may sound easy, it can take a lot of practice to learn. Often, instead of truly listening to what the other person is saying, we\u2019re thinking about what our response will be to what they\u2019re saying, or what we want to say next, or something else entirely. Thus, prior to conducting an in-depth interview, it is a good idea to practice using the skills we will discuss in this session on a friend or colleague. We will have some time to practice during this training, but you might also want to consider practicing with a friend as well. Begin by instructing them to talk about a topic of interest and practice your active listening strategies during the conversation. Afterward, ask for feedback and continue with different topics until using these skills becomes a natural way of interacting.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
