Body Language and Listening Skills

Keeping eye contact

First and foremost, keep eye contact. The biggest mistake when someone is talking to you is to look away.

Open body language

It's always easier to talk to someone with open body language. It is harder talking to someone with folded arms or someone who turns away.

Nodding

It helps to provide feedback to someone talking using a quick nod.

Facial expression

You can express so much through facial expression, showing you are listening by reacting appropriately.

Using body language and listening skills is really about providing positive feedback through facial expressions and open body language.
