\"listening<\/a>By Pete Liska <\/em>https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/peteliska\/<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

What is the difference between not really listening and listening<\/a> with intention?\u00a0 During my coaching certification as part of my homework, I experimented during a conversation with both utilizing and not utilizing listening skills and this blog is about what happened.<\/p>\n

This past evening I was talking with my friend Beth and she was asking me some questions.\u00a0 I really wasn\u2019t listening or listening well.\u00a0 She must have said her statement or even asked me a question three or four times.\u00a0 I really wasn\u2019t sure what she said or even asked and I was even looking right at her.\u00a0 She was getting either frustrated or agitated or some of both.\u00a0 I started to listen a little, and still wasn\u2019t completely intentionally listening.\u00a0 I finally listened to hear what she was saying.\u00a0 By this time, she was frustrated; she did make a point and we agreed to talk about it more later in day.<\/p>\n

If I intentionally listened from the beginning, Beth wouldn\u2019t have gotten frustrated, we would have been able to complete the conversation at that time, and I could have answered her question.\u00a0 Instead of planning to come back to it after calming down, we could have gone on to something else. Have you ever noticed yourself doing this? Would intentional listening<\/a> have helped you?<\/p>\n

Being able to communicate in an intentional way in the present<\/a> moment helps in all conversations.\u00a0 During coach training we learn the process for coaching sessions and we learn intentional listening.\u00a0 This means we take the time to listen to the words and actual conversation with our client.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
