This will serve as a verbal feedback for you to know if you have been listening carefully or not. You can even ask questions to clarify your doubts or maybe to get further information. But we must do this only after the speaker has finished talking. Once we start listening, our communications will be meaningful and enriching. So go ahead and use this skill to the maximum and benefit immensely from it. Happy listening. Take care and goodbye. Bye

When you are trying to convey something meaningful to them, something really very important to them, they try to break your conversation and you just get off that track of communication. You forget what exactly you were trying to convey to them. So these are such useful tips that we all must learn to incorporate in our everyday behavior because our listening skills is primary and it's the foundation of a communication skill
Hi Ranjana. I do agree with you. Listening is an art. Listening is a skill. And most of us actually don't understand the actual difference between hearing and listening. So listening is something where you do actively. You try to understand the perspective of others, try to show the empathy and then you respond. Once after the speaker complete speaking, you listen to it and then you respond to what you want to say

Thank you so much, Swati. And I'm glad that you agree with me. And I absolutely agree with you when you say that, you know, most of the time, we are just looking at the person and how the person is dressed up or how he's talking and rather than hearing out what he has to say. So that is something that we should not be doing, and we should be paying more attention to what the person has to say

Thank you so much. Gauri. I'm glad you agreed with me. And thank you for taking the time to respond. And you're absolutely right. We generally just hear only to respond rather than listen and then respond. Thank you so much. Bye
Your piece was a wonderful reminder to reminder to just close your eyes, open your ears, open your mind also and listen to gain knowledge, not to frame a response that makes you next month. That said, I am just wondering how many of responses that you get will make you go like that wasn't the point. You should listen better. Anyways, have a great day ahead. Look forward to listening from you again. Bye

Listen to gain knowledge and not to form a response. I think that's beautifully said. Thank you so much, Payal, for sharing your views. And I hope what you mentioned about me thinking that on the basis of the responses, whether people had listened or not, I mean, I just hope that doesn't happen. Thank you so much. Bye

Hey, Ranjana, thank you so much for that beautiful swell and actually touching upon a very crucial aspect of what we human beings should actually inculcate in ourselves, which is good listening power. And as you said, that it's an art, literally. Like, I feel that people just win my heart just being a good listener

And if there is somebody who's listening to us and understanding us, I think that is beautiful and you're very right. It's human nature to interrupt. I do that so many times. But then I too try and make a conscious effort to not do it and just bite my tongue so that I keep mum and let the other person talk and complete what he or she has to say. And it is difficult. But then if you make a conscious effort, we can gradually improve

But believe me, people who are just listening to you are making your voice matter all the more because they are there to absorb it. The reason why we go to therapists or a counselor or a psychologist, because they've mastered this art. And the best way to make a person feel that you are there is you don't have to talk to the person

Thank you Vidisha for coming back on this. Well and it's very beautifully put across by you and you are so right in saying that it is a two way communication and a lot of times we do not do that, we don't listen and it is definitely a path to empathize highsing with the other person and that can happen only when both the parties are listening to each other. Thank you so much for your wonderful views and keep sharing. Bye
