What are active listening skills?

Listening is a very important skill to maintain good relationships with people close to us. We can improve this skill by constantly making a conscious effort to listen to the other person and make sure we understand the sentiments of the message that is being conveyed.

This requires our full attention to the person who is talking and sharing their thoughts. This can be achieved by not getting distracted and by not being argumentative at the time when someone is speaking.

It's also important to acknowledge and validate the message being conveyed. If you think something is wrong with it, that should be conveyed in a manner that is not condescending.

It's encouraged to ask questions in the middle for clarity if there is some confusion. But, it should be made sure that the questions are non-intrusive.

Therefore, active listening involves listening with the goal of understanding, digging deeper and getting below the surface, keeping our mouth closed except to say "yes" or "uh-huh" and by turning towards the person. These skills are very important for an individual and also for the people in their life.
