1. Face the speaker and give them your attention. It is difficult to talk to someone who is constantly looking around. ...
2. Keep an open mind. Do not judge or mentally criticize what the speaker is telling you. Doing so can compromise your ability to take in what is being said.
3. Active listening. Active listening shows the speaker that you’re interested and is an important business communication skill.
4. Just listen! Create a mental model of the information, whether it be a picture or an arrangement of abstract concepts.
