Applied Listening Analysis

There are six different types of listening responses; prompting, questioning, paraphrasing, supporting, advising, and judging. The first listening response is prompting which is showing the person that you are still listening and you want them to continue, it can be shown with something as simple as an, “Uh-huh.” Next is questioning which doesn’t mean interrogate them, simple questions to keep the conversation progressing is enough. Paraphrasing is rephrasing what the person said to clarify their understanding of what they just said. Supporting has many forms by showing that you are there for the person or by telling them that they made the right decision. Supporting is more of what is behind the words than what the words actually are. Knowing when to advise someone can be difficult because when a friend comes to you with a problem your first instinct is to fix their problems but often they just want someone to listen to them. Advising is giving someone your opinion on what you would do in their situation. The last type of response is judging. Judging may sound like a bad thing but in some cases it can be helpful, “that is a good idea.” You just have to be careful that your intentions are good and you aren’t

After completing the reading for the chapter on listening I found it interesting on how there are many aspects and different kinds of listening that I had not known of prior to reading the chapter. One part of the chapter that I found to be intriguing was the part on the different kinds of listening styles. When we listen to people speak we are able to use different styles depending on the conversation. For example, when we use relational listening we try to relate to how the others are feeling. Recently I have used relational listening in the wake of the MSD shooting. Being that my sister currently attends the school and I graduated from the school in 2014, I had spoken to many of my friends and current students that were affected by this

The three key best practices concerning listening when working with clients and their families are:

On Thursday, April 21, 2016, I attended a concert of the MGA Chamber Singers, along with about fifty to seventy-five other attendees. The 27 members of the MGA Chamber Singers, along with director Rebecca Lanning and pianists Gail Pollock and Tom Rule presented their musical ensemble at 7:30 P.M. in the Arts Complex Rehearsal Hall on the Macon Campus of Middle Georgia State University. They presented twenty-one different compositions with a broad range of composers, including John Coates Jr., Aaron Copeland, Robert Schumann, John Rutter, and Franz Shubert.

I was sitting there as a 15 year old girl in an auditorium that was scared just because I was away from home for more then one night. Even though I was at church camp I was terrified, I was terrified that people would find out of past mistakes and doubt that I had. At this point in my spiritual journey I had many doubts in if God actually cared about me after I had messed up that many times. The first day I listened to men speak all day about how being catholic is a gift in itself and how with God everything else will fall in place. At this time in my life this all felt like a lie because I had tried praying and nothing was getting better. It wasn’t until the first women of the day got up on stage that I actually could listen and connect with the

The direct purpose of this memo is to assess my listening abilities, and to describe my ideas of which to enhance them. After taking the listening assessment, I scored a 30-39%, indicating my need of improvement. Based off this score I identified my strengths to be listening carefully, asking questions, and empathizing with the speaker. My weaknesses are that I am easily distracted by both external and internal noise, and I have a difficult time keeping eye contact. My intentions are to explain my strategy to improve my skills given the information received from my assessment.

Listening is a skill and counselors understand it may help them identify past, present and future issues. It is essential for a counselor to practice their theory according to the guide or studies. Therefore, a counselor may prevent or lessen the likelihood of boundary crossing. The risk of misusing terms, mis-diagnosis and other unethical liabilities stimulating to cause a theory for the client’s best interest to become detrimental to the client. I believe the passion a counselor have for the need to assist others. In return for the well-being is a significant and needs to apply the identical passion to maintain their health, utilize all of their resources when it becomes over barring. Possibly to prevent a counselor’s from experiencing burn-out

When building and restoring relationships with patients and co-workers, the author of this article states five things that are necessary to practice. These skills are presence and mindfulness, reflective listening, information gathering and agenda setting, recognizing and responding to emotion, and gratitude and appreciation. With these skills, the physician can create a welcoming, positive relationship that builds trust, which is the most critical part of the job.

In this unit I have learned that listening to others when they are speaking is very important, and that you need to listen to them when they talk. Also, when you listen to them, that means that they will want to listen to you.

A teaching assistant can encourage these skills by asking the child to repeat what has just

I work from home so I had my husband take the assessment and I took the assessment and then averaged the two to come up the scores. I scored 25% for level one, 35.7% for level two, and 39.9% for level three.

Over the last three decades, much research has been conducted on patient adherence to treatment regimens because it is ever present and continues to be a serious concern in the healthcare industry costing over $100 billion dollars each year in the USA alone (Vermeire, Hearnshaw, Van, Denekens, 2001). With time constraints, institutional policies, and deadlines becoming the norm in the field for healthcare providers, there is less time for provides to listen to their patients and to develop a relationship with them, ultimately leading to dissatisfied patients less willing to adhere to treatment regimens (Klitzman, 2007). Listening is defined as “to hear something with thoughtful attention” according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary

This course has taught me that one shouldn’t expect one approach to work on every client. In addition, I learned that having patience is very important, and responding to clients is second to listening. My field experience has also helped me reflect on myself, because I thought starting a conversation with a client would be easy, but it has been challenging. There aren’t a lot of things I could find as a good conversation starter, I have been doing better than my first day but it is something I will continue to work on. Since the beginning of this course and fieldwork, I haven’t changed a lot, I still carry the same values. One thing that has changed, are my listening skills; in this class and in my fieldwork, I learned that instead of responding,

It is important to understand my listening approaches since they are vital for effective communication. Having effective listening skills are critical in enhancing a communication process that is productive both within and outside an organization. A personal listening profile is essential since it may enable one to emerge as an active and purposeful listener within a wide variety of instances resulting in a productive or efficient communication (Watson & Barker, 1995). This reflective paper is concerned with my listening style profile where I have summed the scores from the survey and demonstrating my most preferred listening style.
