Be a good listener and pay attention to nonverbal cues from "summary" of How to Become a People Magnet by Marc Reklau
Being a good listener involves more than just hearing the words that someone is saying. It requires paying attention to nonverbal cues as well. Nonverbal cues can give you valuable information about how the other person is feeling and what they are really trying to communicate. Things like body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice can all provide important insights into someone's thoughts and emotions. When you are talking to someone, make sure to give them your full attention. Put away your phone, make eye contact, and show that you are truly engaged in the conversation. This will not only make the other person feel valued and respected, but it will also help you to pick up on any nonverbal cues that they may be giving off. Pay attention to the other person's body language. Are they making eye contact with you? Are they leaning in or leaning back? These subtle movements can tell you a lot about how the other person is feeling. For example, if someone is leaning in and nodding along with what you are saying, it is a good indication that they are interested and engaged in the conversation. Facial expressions are another important nonverbal cue to watch out for. A smile can indicate happiness or agreement, while a furrowed brow might signal confusion or concern. By paying attention to these subtle cues, you can better understand the other person's emotions and tailor your responses accordingly.- Be attuned to the other person's tone of voice. Are they speaking quickly and enthusiastically, or are they speaking slowly and hesitantly? These vocal cues can give you valuable information about the other person's mood and demeanor. By tuning in to these nuances, you can deepen your connection with the other person and improve your communication skills overall.
