Wk 29 - Focus on Others and Their Communication

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

Hello Reader,

​

Focus on Others and Their Communication

Focusing on others and what they have to share is essential to building meaningful relationships. One way to do this is to practice active listening.

  1. To be an active listener, ensure you give your full attention to the person speaking.
  2. Eliminate distractions, put away your phone, or turn off the TV.
  3. Listen to what the person is saying and how they are saying it.
  4. Pay attention to their body language, tone of voice, and facial expressions.
  5. Maintain eye contact and repeat what the person said. This will help you understand what they are saying and show that you are interested.
  6. When listening to others, avoid prejudice and self-centeredness. Do not make assumptions based on preconceived notions, and resist the urge to steer the conversation towards yourself. Instead, focus on the other person and their experiences.

By following these steps, you will be better able to focus on others and what they are communicating.
