How can I become a better listener and improve my communication with others?
assistant
To become a better listener and improve your communication with others, try to be more mindful when listening to others. Make sure to give your full attention and be non-judgmental. Ask open-ended questions to encourage dialogue and be sure to listen for tone and body language. Follow up to show that you understand what the other person is saying. Be an active listener and try to identify the main points of information the speaker is trying to get across. Finally, avoid multitasking and give your undivided attention to the person talking.
