Marial,

Thanks for sharing how to be a better listener. Great discussion regarding the role of feelings. Body language is another way to show you are being an active listener and it also is one way to read how well others are listening to us. In terms of listening for content, what are some specific strategies from the book that you can use? Which do you prefer? For instance, do you prefer open ended questions or maybe affirmations? How about the other strategies?

Explain.

When engaging in a difficult conversation for the purpose of reaching a resolution for a conflict, it is important to use listening techniques. The use of appropriate and effective listening techniques shows the other party that one has an interest and concern in the conversation. Active listening is a must as it helps to receive important information that is needed to understand meaning of the conversation (Weger Jr., Castle Bell, Minei, & Robinson, 2014). If one is actively listening, one can paraphrase what the other party said. This demonstrates that one is paying attention as one can summarize what was said. This technique should also be in conjunction with emotional labeling (EL). EL can be used to label the other party’s feeling that are expressed. 

Respond to the prompts after each scenario. 

Scenario 1: 

Justin is a front-office assistant at a local physician’s office. On a busy day at the office, Justin is consumed by patients and their needs. While helping a patient, Sarah, the other front-office assistant, calls Justin over to answer questions regarding the patient intake process. Justin explains the process to Sarah and then continues to work with the patient at his window. Later that day, Justin reflects on the situation and is frustrated that he had to stop working with his patient to explain a process to Sarah that he has already explained a dozen times. Justin takes to social media to express his frustrations with Sarah and her inability to take care of patients properly even though she has been trained. 

Write a 175- to 260-word response to the following prompts: 

• Explain how Sarah might perceive Justin’s actions.

Thanks, Sean”
