There are five key elements of active listening. They all help you ensure that you hear the other person, and that the other person knows you are hearing what they are saying. Give the speaker your undivided attention and acknowledge the message. Recognize that what is not said also speaks loudly. Use your own body language and gestures to convey your attention. Our personal filters, assumptions, judgments, and beliefs can distort what we hear. As a listener, your role is to understand what is being said. This may require you to reflect what is being said and ask questions. Interrupting is a waste of time. It frustrates the speaker and limits full understanding of the message. Active listening is a model for respect and understanding. You are gaining information and perspective. You add nothing by attacking the speaker or otherwise putting him or her down.
 * Pay attention. **
 * Show that you are listening. **
 * Provide feedback. **
 * Defer judgment. **
 * Respond Appropriately. **
