SayNow: Learn Listen Develop app for iPhone and iPad

How good are your listening skills? While we all know what the term means, how many of us are actually listening rather than just hearing what is being said? We spend around 80% of our day engaged in some form of communication, but research has shown that we only absorb and remember somewhere between 17-25% of the things that we hear.

Communication is a vital part of life, so how can we improve our listening skills so that we are absorbing more information?

We thought we would take a closer look…





Why are listening skills so important?



As we grow up and begin to develop our literacy skills, there is a major focus on our reading and writing. However, listening is something that we take for granted, and we are typically not taught the importance of this essential part of communication.

Listening skills are crucial to our day-to-day activities. Whether chatting with loved ones, engaging with new people, or communicating with colleagues, being able to listen and understand each other is vital effectively. Some of the benefits of enhancing how efficiently we hear include:



Reducing Misunderstandings
Poor communication skills can often lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations, leading to issues in our personal and professional lives.



Build empathy
Empathy is another vital life skill, and improved listening skills can help us better understand the feelings of the people we are engaging with.



Enhance business relationships
Listening is one of the most important aspects of any business interaction. That is why developing this skill can help you build stronger connections with colleagues and clients alike.



Boost productivity
Of course, improving our listening not only enhances our communication. When you are able to absorb more information, you have a better understanding of what is required, boosting your productivity in the process.
