March is International Listening Awareness Month. Each of us is required to listen in many situations on a daily basis. The phone rings and someone answers. A baby cries and someone responds. But, are we really listening? The International Listening Association promotes the study, development, and teaching of listening. To learn more about the practice of effective listening skills and techniques, visit the ILA website at www.listen.org, or contact the executive director at info@listen.org or 1-800-ILA-4505. It’s time to listen!

Did you know that March is International Listening Awareness Month? And, are you aware that listening is an acquired skill? Just as we learned to listen, we can learn to be better listeners! Here are some good listening behaviors: 1) concentrate on the message; 2) attend to only one message at a time; and, 3) provide appropriate feedback to the source of the message. If you seek more information on effective listening, check out the International Listening Association website at www.listen.org, or contact the executive director at info@listen.org, or phone 1-800-ILA-4505.

Everyone wants your attention, right now! How do you focus on what is important so that you can listen to those you should listen to? Learning how to listen effectively can help you win friends and influence your colleagues. Listening scholars suggest that competent listeners have knowledge about listening, attitudes to help them work at listening, and behaviors to help them be better listeners. Check out the International Listening Association web site at www.listen.org or contact the executive director at info@listen.org.
