BARRIERS IN THE PROCESS OF EFFECTIVE 1) LISTENING Distracted listening. - You are trying to multitask , listening someone while doing other tasks, especially when the speaker’s speech demands high attention and awareness. Doing this sabotages effective listening, moreover your mind wont get the focus it needs to complete the other task. 2) Impatient listening. - During conversations, do you stop listening and cut people off while they’re talking because you think you know what they’re going to say? Don’t be an impatient listener by waiting for a pause so that you can respond with your agenda. Always make sure you’re truly present and giving your full attention to the other person, not thinking about the next question you’re going to ask in order to guide them to where you want them to be. That isn’t good communication—it’s manipulation. Be patient. 3. )Filtered Listening- In essence, filtered listening is the belief that you’ve already listened to an entire conversation without having it. If you approach every conversation with a clean slate and without any preconceptions, you open up the opportunity to create a new outcome. 3

4) Selective listening. Do you hear only what you want to hear? Do you listen differently to different people? Do you pass judgment based on what you see or know about the person, such as their age, status, perceived level of success, personal relationship, disposition, dress, profession or job title? Good listening means lending your ears equally to everyone, whether they’re friends, family, peers, your boss, customers, strangers or even a person experiencing homelessness. 5) Verbal-only listening. -. Poor listening means ignoring non-verbal cues and body language, such as facial expressions, eye contact, tone, inflection, attitude, transparency, level of engagement, focus and disposition. If any of these behaviors seem familiar, you are limiting your ability to intentionally and proactively listen in a way that will foster deeper trust and engagement, effective collaboration, stronger relationships and greater success. These limitations will also prevent you from maximizing your personal brand, sales and leadership efforts, opportunities and income. This heavily sabotages personal relationship and professional meetings. 4
