Make Him Feel Heard! 14 Easy Steps To Being A Better Listener
Put away your devices
It doesn’t matter if the work you’re doing on your computer requires none of your brain power: nobody feels they are being listened to if the listener has a laptop propped open on their lap. If anything, it makes them feel a clock is ticking and they better talk fast because you have work or Facebook to get back to. Close your laptop or turn your phone over and push these things away from yourself. Make the speaker feel like those devices are an annoyance to you, and what you really want to do is be listening right now.
