Please read Doug Lipman’s (1998) statement on how to become helpful active listeners. As a helpful listener I do not interrupt you. I do not give advice. I do not do something else while listening to you. I do not convey distraction through nervous mannerisms. I do not finish your sentences for you. I do not assume I know what you mean. I do not convey disapproval, impatience, or condescension. If I am confused, I show a desire for clarification, not dislike. I do not act vindicated when you misspeak. I do not sit impassively, withholding participation. I project affection, approval, interest, and enthusiasm. I am your partner in communication.Please answer these questions: What do you think of Lipman’s statement? When you speak in public, what is the most important behavior that you expect or wish from your audience (use Lipman’s statement)? Can we be helpful listeners when we are texting or checking our laptop while other people are speaking to a whole group?
