(The) Power of Powerful Listening

Listening well is often associated with three things:

1. Silently listening to others talk
2. Using facial expressions or verbal cues like “mmm-hmm”
3. Word-for-word repetition of what another person says

Despite their obvious association with good listening, those things are almost irrelevant to it!

However, some of the best listeners contradict that advice...As a result, they reap the rewards.

The ability to listen - and we mean really listen - to someone like your partner, coworker, boss, or child...Is perhaps the greatest opportunity in life…and one often missed.

Learning how to really listen: (1) opens doors for you; (2) transforms your relationships; and, (3) helps you get more of what you want out of your life.

Yet, most of us seldom learn how to listen effectively!

Listening seems fairly straightforward…

However, it's more than simply remaining silent when others speak... or verbatim copying what others say...

The common advice about listening makes sense logically...But it fails to take into account how people can truly communicate on a deep level.

In fact, when you start using true listening skills…It can be a powerful way to increase your own influence and build rapport.

If you use the tactics in this micro course, you will not only help the person you are listening to...you will also help yourself.

What do the best listeners do differently? To illustrate how they differ from traditional listening advice, here are two examples:

1. They Pay Attention to Body Language

• Studies have shown that the majority of a person’s communication — between 70% and 93% — is actually expressed through their body language!
• Facial expressions, gestures, tone of voice, and speaking volume all fall into this category.
• And as you’ll discover inside this micro course…
• The act of paying attention to body language goes beyond simply observing the other person's behavior... It also means communicating through your own body language that you are fully committed to this conversation.

2. They Aren’t Afraid to “Jump In” And Ask Questions

• We are not talking about interrupting someone... or talking over them...
• In essence, it's about demonstrating that you are understand their feelings or point of view.
• Great listeners don’t remain completely silent all of the time. There’ is a right way and a wrong way to jump into a conversation.

It is likely that person was practicing powerful listening skills with you, whether they realized it or not!
