Listening to Others
Personal & Social Development · Friendship & Cooperation · procedural
Listen to others when they are speaking — looking at the speaker, waiting until they finish, and showing they have heard by responding to what was said rather than just talking about their own ideas
What mastery looks like
- Face the speaker and maintain attention while someone else is talking
- Wait until the other person has finished before responding
- Respond to what was actually said rather than changing the subject to their own idea
Check your understanding
When a friend is telling Listening to Others about their weekend, does Listening to Others actually listen and ask questions about it — rather than immediately jumping in to talk about their own weekend?
