Listening is not understanding the words

of the questionlistening is understand
why the question was asked
 effective listening

The communication process

try to be understood to get our point across
we pretend to listen
selectively hear certain parts
focus only on the words being said
miss the meaning entirely
 effective listening

our intent is to reply not understand

we listen to ourselves as we prepare in the mind what
we are going to say or ask
we filter everything we hear through experience as our
frame of reference
 effective listening

This happens because we dont

listen with empathy!

jerry springer
 effective listening

Empathetic listening
gives you powerful information
focused on receiving info without injecting your own
thought, feelings, motives
empathy allows you to focus and cause influence to
problem solve
