BENEFITS OF GOOD LISTENING

These are some example of benefits of good listening


· RESPECT- Listening with paying full attention is communicating to speaker with respect. Giving respect to the speaker, you also receive theirs.


· AIRTIME- Understanding that there should be give and take in the conversation. Giving the time to listen to the speaker, they are most likely will do the same thing.


· INFORMATION- Listening is adapting new information, being attentive will help you more understand the person. The information may be important and may apply to your professional and personal life.


· INCREASED LIKABILITY- You notice that when you make a conversation, you like the people who listen to your words. It is the same thing when you listen to people, they like when you give attention to them.


· BETTER RELATIONSHIPS- Listening can improve your relationships with others. Being able to listen to other people`s concerns and problems without judgement.


· GREAT CLARITY- Listening carefully to the speaker will help you avoid any conflicts or misunderstanding.


In addition, I think listening can help you build confidence. You listen to get information, facts and ideas. Knowing the information and being able to repeat it or pass it to someone else is having that confidence to communicate to others.


Can you think of any benefits of good listening? Next time you have a conversation with someone and you are the listener, examine some of the benefits of listening.

  1. Great list on Benefits of Good Listening, however I don't think Building Relationship is relevant to the topic. As building relationships is done when you communicate verbally. And it takes time and effort.

  2. Good and interesting points but I do think that it doesn't relate for building relations because sometimes we are suppose to listen to get the information not for relations.
