1. Last week, we learned more about the importance of listening.This week, I want you to try to incorporate active listening skills into your daily life to see how well you actually listen. Pick a conversation with a family member, friend or colleague. Although listening in interpersonal communication is a bit different than listening to a speech, there are lots of similarities and the book gives you tips to try. Be sure to record what you observed.
2. For your discussion board post, describe in detail what the situation was and who was participating in the conversation. Then, detail the observations you made. How was this conversation different from ones you've had in the past? What skills did you use well? What skills do you need to work on?
