How can you apply your signature theme to become a better active listener? |
| Conversational skills | In situations that require explanations and evaluation of some form, I may use my conversational skills to effectively listen and wait for my turn to give a clear perspective on different matters. | In an instance where I met with Jane, a nutritionist, we talked the importance of nutrition in newborn babies, and at some point, I inquired more on the exclusive breastfeeding program and the essence of nutritional needs during infancy. | I can use my conversational skills to evaluate situations and provide the best solutions available in a meaningful two-way conversation. |
| Learner | As a learner, it is important to understand that it will be helpful to me since it allows me to learn new things and have a better understanding of things; therefore, my conversations will be; therefore and also improve my communication skills. | During my conversation with John, a mental health clinician, I learned so much on how counselling sessions and patient support help in improving the health outcome of mental patient. I was also able to learn the role of compassion and listening during a therapy session enhanced counsellor-patient communication | Through my many conversations and the will to learn from others, it will mend me to be a good listener as I will strive to give an ear to information that is positive and informative. |
| Positivity | For my part, I approach conversations with certain elements such as giving a lot of Praise where it is deserved, smiling during the conversation and being positive in conversions is helpful to me since I will be attractive to most people in terms of having conversations. | In a conversation with Peter an ex-convict where he talked of the struggles of coming back to the community and being accepted, I frequently praised him of his determination and courage to try and convince the community that he is a changed man. Furthermore, I smiled with him and showed that I care and I remained positive throughout the conversation. | I can apply my positivity in situations that may require some form of encouragement, For instance in the case of ex-convicts who many people may not want to talk with or even relate with them in any way. |
| Relevancy | Being significance for me represents one of the most important parts of getting my conversation going in the right and correct manner. Moreover, my clients will feel a sense of value in our talks as I will lay facts in a more unique but equally respectable way. | During talks with a doctor on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle by eating healthy and avoiding bad habits such as excessive alcohol consumption, I was significance in that I did not deviate from the matter in discussion. I asked questions relevant to the topic of discussion. | Although I sometimes may deviate from the matter in the discussion by talking about issues I have no clear knowledge about, I have learnt to be significance by asking questions where I do not have a clear understanding of issues. |
| Harmony | For my part, finding a common ground to settle different views and opinions is a good way to be a good and equally effective listener. | In my conversation with two people who had different views on a certain matter though each person’s view was to some extent right, I managed to bring them to a common ground where they saw that they were actually all correct in some way. | I will use my harmonious theme to good effect to settle disagreements between people. |
