Avoid unnecessary interruptions.  These behaviours disrupt the listening process and send messages to the speaker that you are bored or distracted.]]> 2016-11-04 14:31:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mkglz23/ado7lebk0rpd/wish/135392849 Listen to the Tone mkglz23 https://padlet.com/mkglz23/ado7lebk0rpd/wish/135397593
A good speaker will use both volume and tone to their advantage to keep an audience attentive; everybody will use pitch, tone and volume of voice in certain situations – let these help you to understand the emphasis of what is being said.]]> 2016-11-04 14:42:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mkglz23/ado7lebk0rpd/wish/135397593 Wait and Watch for Non-Verbal Communication mkglz23 https://padlet.com/mkglz23/ado7lebk0rpd/wish/135398987 We don’t just listen with our ears but also with our eyes – watch and pick up the additional information being transmitted via non-verbal communication.]]> 2016-11-04 14:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mkglz23/ado7lebk0rpd/wish/135398987 Be Patient mkglz23 https://padlet.com/mkglz23/ado7lebk0rpd/wish/135400617 Be patient and let the speaker continue in their own time, sometimes it takes time to formulate what to say and how to say it. Never interrupt or finish a sentence for someone.]]> 2016-11-04 14:49:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mkglz23/ado7lebk0rpd/wish/135400617
