Lesson Overview

23.17 – Active Listening: How to Really Hear Someone: Active listening transforms communication from surface to depth. It means focusing fully on the speaker instead of planning your reply. Eye contact, nodding, and short affirmations show genuine attention. Reflect back what you heard to ensure accuracy. Listening this way communicates empathy and care, making others feel safe to open up. Avoid interrupting or correcting mid-sentence; patience is part of respect. When people feel understood, conflict softens and cooperation grows. Active listening also teaches emotional control—you respond thoughtfully instead of impulsively. Over time, this skill strengthens every relationship, because being heard and being valued are almost the same thing.
