“Listening actively confirms for people that you are positively receiving and thoroughly understanding the message they are conveying.”

“By your practice of active listening, everyone involved benefits because you . . . • are more engaged and engaging; • demonstrate that you are interested in others and what they have to say; • make others feel important, respected, understood, and appreciated; • improve your memory and retention; • affirm to others that you are an authentic, caring, and compassionate person; make a great first and last impression”

“If the skill of participatory listening came effortlessly and easy for everyone, there would not be so many misunderstandings, communication breakdowns, irritations, and frustrations.”

“Active listening is key to all healthy and effective communication, however, it doesn't necessarily come easily.”

“When you become an actively engaged listener, you will develop the mindful awareness that active listening involves multiple layers and distinct levels.”

“Being Present Years ago, I attended a conference where the keynote speaker encouraged everyone to BE HERE NOW! It grabbed people's attention and reminded us that living, loving, listening, and laughing all occur in the present moment.”

“Active listening requires being fully present and engaged in the moment.”

“When you are mindfully focused, the person with whom you are communicating feels that you are making them a priority—that you value their time and their perspective. It is in these moments that we can go to deeper levels of discovery, exploration, and connection. It is one of the most valuable gifts and finest compliments you can give to another.”

“To Become an Attentive Listener . . . • Observe a person’s physical presence to see how their body language aligns with their message. • Recognize what is being said on the surface. • Engage your intuition to hear the meaning, purpose, and motivation behind their message. • Be aware of your own internal responses and how you are feeling. • Put yourself in their shoes to better understand their perspective.”
