When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen. ― Ernest Hemingway
Most of the successful people I’ve
known are the ones who do more listening than talking. ― Bernard M. Baruch
It takes a great man to be a good
listener. ― Calvin Coolidge
As we prepare to
attend events and activities, it is important to remember that we must listen
to the other people in the conversation and not just ask questions.
Listening…
ü Allows the listener the opportunity to learn from the other individuals in the conversation.
ü The opportunity to ask clarifying questions and ask follow up questions.
ü Active listening shows the speaker that the listener is interested and focused on what is being said and not thinking about anything else while in the conversation.
Most people do not listen with the
intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply. ― Stephen R. Covey,
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change

many different aspects of life.
