-
Listen for ideas, not facts
– ask yourself what they mean
-
Judge content,
not delivery, i.e.
what they say, not how they say it
-
Listen
optimistically – don't
lose interest straight away
-
Do not jump to conclusions
-
Be flexible, adjust your
note-taking to the speaker
-
Concentrate – don't start dreaming
– and keep
eye contact
-
Do not think ahead of the speaker
– you will lose track
-
Work at listening – be alert and
alive
-
Keep emotions under control
when listening
-
Open your mind – practice
accepting new information
-
Breathe slowly and deeply
-
Relax physically, get comfortable
