Are You Really listening or just waiting to speak?
Today I’m Going to tell you 5 levels of listening
Waiting To Talk
Stay Focused!!
You’re quite, but only because you are thinking about what you will say next.
Hearing the Words
Distracted!!
You Catch parts of Conversation, but your attention drifts.
Understanding the Message
Focused!!
You’re turned in. You hear not just the words but what they mean. You’re listening to understand – Not to reply
Recognizing Emotions
Empathetic!!
You Go Deeper. You sense their emotional state and recognize how they feel, not just what they say.
Hearing What’s Unsaid
Fully Present!!
You pick up on the deeper meaning, the things they struggle to express, and what they need you to hear.
Thanks!!
