"The approach I take is almost all about listening," Tara tells us. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👂" title="Ohr" aria-label="Emoji: Ohr">

Ruth: "I& #39;m excited about this topic because I think that listening can be learned, and should be taught more." https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Applaus-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: Applaus-Zeichen">
"We get trained in public speaking, but we never get trained in listening," Elizabeth points out. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤔" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">

How do we resist the urge to speak when we& #39;re trying to listen?

Jeet is sharing some of the key principles of active listening:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤝" title="Handschlag" aria-label="Emoji: Handschlag">Building relationships
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌱" title="Setzling" aria-label="Emoji: Setzling">Creating a safe environment
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔒" title="Schloss" aria-label="Emoji: Schloss">Assuring the person that whatever they share is confidential
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎯" title="Volltreffer" aria-label="Emoji: Volltreffer">Being focused and non-judgemental
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚫" title=""Betreten verboten!"-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: "Betreten verboten!"-Zeichen">Not giving advice or suggestions
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">Keeping eye contact

And Jeet concludes, "it& #39;s not easy - be patient". https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌟" title="Leuchtender Stern" aria-label="Emoji: Leuchtender Stern">
What about situations where we don& #39;t agree with the person we& #39;re listening to?

You don& #39;t have to agree or disagree when you& #39;re listening, Tara advises - so start there. You may not disagree with them as much as you think. And if you do, take a break. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💡" title="Elektrische Glühbirne" aria-label="Emoji: Elektrische Glühbirne">
What challenges should we be mindful of when we& #39;re engaging in conversation?

Avoid being asked to judge or advise, says Jeet.

Don& #39;t take the problem onto yourself, adds Tara - don& #39;t be weighed down.

How can we improve our attention span? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥱" title="Gähnendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Gähnendes Gesicht">

Use all your imaginative skills when you listen to someone - try to visualise what they& #39;re telling you, Ruth suggests.
How can we reduce the tendency to want to fix and solve people& #39;s problems?

Different people might need different solutions to the same challenge, Jeet reminded us.

And Tara added that it& #39;s more helpful for people to reach their own solutions. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌱" title="Setzling" aria-label="Emoji: Setzling">
