Communication is a daily activity either at home or at the office with colleagues. At the time of the communication process, sometimes we become speakers and sometimes we are listeners.
Activity as a listener who listens to the message in the communication looks so easy, but not everyone can be a good listener.
In communication with others, it won’t feel warm and meaningful if it is not done properly; becoming a good speaker and a good listener.
Tips to be a good listener in the communication include:
1. Listen by concentration
It means listening to the talks with full concentration, not just silent, not think about other things beyond the conversation.
2. Listen attentively
It means paying attention seriously to the speaker’s words, such as by the eye expression to the speaker.
3. Listen with pleasure
It means that in communication we remain to do with pleasure although whether the communication interests us or not, this feeling will usually be reflected in smile along communication, not in forced smile.
4. Listen by feedback cues
The point is that we should not interrupt before other person finishes speaking, this feedback cues can be done by a nod to respond interlocutors.
