What does active listening involve
Active listening is not the same as hearing or listening and requires both focus and concentrated effort. It means fully concentrating on what is being said and trying to understand it. A lot of the time we are listening and formulating what to say next or answer before the person has finished talking so we do not give ourselves time to fully understand what is being said. When you practice active listening, you are fully concentrating on what is being said. You listen with all of your senses and give your full attention to the person speaking.
