Dr. Jane’s Daily Insights – Engaged Listening

By Dr. Jane Guttman

At the top of every communication skills list is listening. Being an engaged listener is the greatest gift to give to everyone and anyone. It is the essential aspect of sound communication and will bring the best of who you are forward. Engaged listening means to listen with ears, eyes and heart. The late Dr. Carl Rogers, truly a father of communication, was a listener extraordinaire. He redirected educators across the land as they learned to do engaged listening, and his clients moved back into the stream of life with his unique Rogerian style of listening. How does it feel to be heard? Deeply heard and understood. This is what transpires when we put aside our own thoughts, replies and distractions and fully, engagingly listen. Too few will tell you they have been on the receiving end of this practice. We must give our full presence, our devoted eyes, ears, heart and just listen. No interruptions. Just to let our speaker tell her or his story. Just like that. Do this with a loved one and see where you go. There is potential for such depth in understanding and feeling truly heard. That experience empowers. And it brings healing. It lets us feel the communion with another, our listener, and to be authentically who we are. Then, take your turn. You become a speaker and someone else gives you their ears, eyes and heart, and their full measure of presence for what you want or need to say. Watch a magical experience unfold.
