Week 3 Case Study In this Ted Talk, Julian Treasure argues that as a society "we are losing our listening" and that we need to improve our listening skills. He suggests five specific strategies to improve our listening skills: 1. Listen to no sound for three minutes a day to reset our ears. 2. Listen to all the different sounds in a noisy place, such as a coffee shop. This way, the ears hear many different sounds all at once. 3. Enjoy normal sounds, as in listening to a dryer. 4. Think about the "position" taken while listening. This means actively listening by taking notes, expand on what was said, or being critical. 5. Receive, appreciate, summarize, and ask (RASA). This means paying attention, showing you're listening, summarizing what they said, and asking a question at the end
