And it makes sense- research shows we spend half our waking hours listening (Hargie, 2017; Kelley, 2019). But are you listening or are you just hearing? True listening requires encoding, reflection, and delivering on what you heard. It\u2019s a skill, it requires practice and it\u2019s required to ask better questions, to give rewards (people actually want), and to assert yourself.\xa0\n\xa0\nPut more eloquently: \u201cListening is the willingness to let another person change you\u201d - Alan Alda\n\xa0\nOn today\u2019s episode we cover:\nThe differences between hearing and listening\xa0\nThe 5 types of listening and the 4 types of listener\xa0\nVerbal and non-verbal indicators to show you\u2019re engaged\nHow to practice the skill of listening\xa0\n\xa0\nAs you heard, practice requires application.
