Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that active listening is a key skill in interpersonal communication that involves fully concentrating on the speaker.
Recognize that active listening requires not just hearing the words but also providing feedback to show understanding, such as nodding or paraphrasing.
Note that active listening involves withholding judgment or interruptions until the speaker has finished to ensure the message is fully received.
Eliminate options that involve distractions, such as avoiding eye contact or thinking about something else, as these do not demonstrate active engagement.
Identify that interrupting the speaker to share your own experiences breaks the flow of communication and is not part of active listening.
