Listening is a skill that we must practice over and over if we are to become good at it. When we listen, we need to listen ACTIVELY. I just posted an article on this point on my blog. It is aimed at public speakers, but the tips can be used in almost any situation where one has to listen. I hope you find it helpful. http://wp.me/pwfa1-eG Cheers!
