Features of A Good Listner

A good listener pays close attention to the speaker, making eye contact and asking relevant questions. They focus on understanding the full message rather than formulating a response. Key traits include fighting distractions, welcoming all topics open-mindedly, and using feedback to show engagement like nodding and brief affirmations. Good listeners seek to understand rather than judge and use follow-up questions to invite the speaker to expand on their perspective.
