Be a good listener
The art of listening involves all of our being.
You’d be amazed how much more confident you feel when you’re a good listener. You find you can handle business and social situations confidently.
The art of good communication can be summarised in four points:
■ Be a good listener so you truly understand what others say to you. Good listening earns genuine respect and admiration, and is one of the secrets of popularity.
■ Have something good to say. Boring people make boring conversation.
■ Express yourself well. Use colourful, descriptive language. Make your con- versation sound interesting.
■ Appeal to the emotions. There’s a wise saying: The head never hears until the heart has listened.
Become a good listener and you’ll gain a reputation as a good conversationalist without having to say very much at all.
