•Nonverbal

![Page 22: Nonverbal Communication](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b329634a79590b118b4643/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Active Listening
•Relax and listen ▫using verbal and nonverbal
•Avoid interrupting the speaker
•It is important as it can help you digest what is being said accurately. It allows you to think through clearly.

Steps for Active Listening1. Affirmation – Acknowledge ideas, thoughts,
feelings▫ Verbal: yes, go on, etc▫ Nonverbal: nodding your head
2. Paraphrasing – Using own words to repeat speaker’s ideas
3. Clarification – check whether you understood▫ Verbal: ask open-ended questions starting with “How”, “What”,
“Please explain”▫ Nonverbal: using gestures to enhance questions
4. Summarize and give opinions▫ Verbal: ask if speaker wants to hear your opinions, using “would
you..”▫ Nonverbal: using gestures to emphasize ideas
![Page 24: Nonverbal Communication](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b329634a79590b118b4643/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Verbal•Be clear and assertive
•Enhance/emphasize ideas with nonverbal skills (gestures, eye contact, paralinguistics, etc)
•Use “I” sentences instead of “You”▫“you” sentences are usually perceived as blaming
or attacking the receiver.▫E.g. “I feel confused.” and “You are making me
confused.”
![Page 25: Nonverbal Communication](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b329634a79590b118b4643/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Verbal + Nonverbal• We have to manage our emotions (anger)
• Using “I” statements, do not use words like “better”, “worse”, “should”
• Acknowledge other’s emotions (through facial expression, eye contact), look interested to help speaker to relax.
• Rephrase speaker’s words▫ Take note of paralanguage used: tone, timbre and loudness
• Add others into the conversation to address the issue
![Page 26: Nonverbal Communication](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061216/54b329634a79590b118b4643/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Nonverbal
We should avoid: •Pointing index finger at speaker
•Wringing of hands
•Crossing arms on chest
•Eye avoidance – glancing sideways, looking down

Nonverbal
•Careful usage of paralanguage
•Thought through what underlying message that your sentence might have.
•When angry use a soft/ low voice instead of loud and angry tone.

Practice or Self review
•Practice and record the speech at home.▫Take note of paralinguistics used
•Reflect on these questions:▫Are everyone being heard?▫Does everyone has a chance to clarify?▫Is everyone clear about what you say?▫Did everyone manage to use the tools of
expressing and receiving anger?
