IMPROVING LISTENING SKILLS
• . By using non-judgmental invitations to talk, you open the doors to meaningful conversation :
• Let's discuss it. • Would you like to talk about it? • Tell me about it. • I'd like to hear about it. • Tell me the whole story. • It sounds like you've got something to say about this. • This seems important to you. • I'm interested in your point of view.
![Page 64: Basic Elements in Communication](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032701/563dbb79550346aa9aad807f/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)

Talking

• When you are responding to a person facing a crisis, rather than use statements such as "You should" or "That's wrong", say:
I feel... I believe... I would want...

• The following list outlines points to consider in relation to overcoming communication barriers.
feedback - enables communication to become a two way process with both the sender and the receiver trying to achieve mutual understanding
consider the words used - long complicated sentences and unfamiliar words confuse people. Communication should be clear, complete, concise, concrete, correct and courteous.
![Page 68: Basic Elements in Communication](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032701/563dbb79550346aa9aad807f/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
• use repetition - repeating messages several time using different examples can help others to understand the messages being sent
use empathy - seeing a situation from another person's viewpoint and trying to understand others opinions concerns and attitudes makes better communicators
timing - poor timing can result in messages not being received effectively
![Page 69: Basic Elements in Communication](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032701/563dbb79550346aa9aad807f/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
• being positive rather than negative helps make communication more effective - what is wanted not what isn't wanted
select the best location - talk somewhere that will encourage open communication not a noisy shop floor or a busy office
listening reduces miscommunication check written communication for spelling
errors and ensure the sentences are clear, concise and not ambiguous.
