I agree that listening is a very overlooked skill. As Patrick said above... “You were given two ears, two eyes, and one mouth. Use them in that proportion” Very true...

If class members are ignored how can you learn anything? Some of my best teachers were also some of the best listeners. They would ask the class questions and tailor their teaching around the answers. Simple, yet very effective. John Jeanne, you bring up a great point.

My college class just experienced a new professor who does not listen to us. Example: we brainstormed ground rules. Class members suggested three, he suggested three. The final list had only his three on it. You can guess how empowered and supportive the class felt. Hey John, talk about timely.

I enjoyed your article on listening. Very insightful and to the point. I have been in Toastmasters for years and have experienced those half listeners from time to time. A little vocal variety usually wakes them up, and a good story brings them in. Keep up the great work! John Herman, thanks for the reply. I enjoyed your article on listening.

A few months ago I posted about <a href="http://hermanjnajoli.com/2007/04/03/the-lost-art-of-listening/" rel="nofollow">The Lost Art of Listening</a>. The joy of conversation (or public speaking) is usually crucified by the luxury of half-listeners. Let us rediscover the art of listening. Thanks for the post!
