Active listening, оr listening аt yоur best, is defined by оne of this country’s premier listening experts аs а four-stage process. Obviously, good listening begins when you sense the speaker’s message. Sensing is the process of receiving the speaker’s sounds through the auditory system and registering them in the brain. After the message has been sensed, a secondstage occurs when you accurately interpret the message or assign meaning to the sounds you receive. Third, if you are listening actively, you evaluate the message by weighing evidence and sorting fact from opinion. To complete the process, you respond by providing feedback or taking action.
