What are active listening skills?

Active listening is a powerful communication skill.

I think that you might be looking for some techniques that enhance that skill. If we were talking I would clarify that with you. That's one example of a active listening technique.

Here are a few more techniques to active listening:

• Look directly at the person who is talking.
• Smile.
• Appear relaxed - not impatient.
• Nod your head occasionaly - to show understanding - not necessarily agreement.
• Repeat some key words.
• Ask a question about a point.

This is a question that I received.
