The Value of Active Listening

A 10-minute microlearning course on the value and importance of active listening.

We’ll look at why active listening matters, what the benefits are – to you and those you interact with – and how to be an active listener.

How to Be an Active Listener

Active listening – as opposed to passive listening – shows the person you’re listening to (whether they’re presenting, in a group, or you’re having a one-on-one discussion) that you’re engaged, interested, and taking in what they’re saying. If you’re having an important conversation, showing you’re actively listening will make the other person feel more positive about the discussion – which means a better outcome all round.
