Online: Attentive listening
I want to improve my listening skills.
Effective listening isn't just about hearing what the other person says; it's also about understanding and how you respond. Do you give the other person a chance to finish speaking? Do you encourage them by applying the LSD principle (Listen, Summarize, Dig deeper)? Active listening involves motivating the other person, maintaining eye contact, and interpreting your conversation partner's facial expressions and body language.

When can I open my mouth again?
Listening isn't actually that difficult. What's much harder is keeping your mouth shut. We often listen poorly because we want to talk ourselves. However, attentive listening can provide you with valuable information and prevent misunderstandings. When you listen well, you acknowledge the other person and their reality. This demonstrates your willingness to adapt to changes and showcases your involvement.
