According to Psychology Today:
Most people believe they are good listeners but don't even consider the
difference between hearing and listening.
The ability to hear is typically innate, but the ability to listen well is a
skill that must be developed and practiced.
Listening means paying attention and making a conscious effort to process
what you hear. It is one of our most important skills and it is also one of
the most overlooked.
Becoming a better listener is a process, not an event and it doesn't just
magically happen. You get the opportunity here at our Toastmasters meetings
each week to practice our listening skills... challenge yourself to become
a better listener.
BE PRESENT in the MOMENT, give your fellow Toastmasters your full attention
and respect when they are speaking.
Challenge yourself to find ONE TAKE AWAY from each meeting ....that helps
you grow!
Winston Churchill once said, "Courage is what it takes to stand up and
speak, courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen."
