Active Listener?

Active listening is a technique that requires complete focus on the person speaking to you.

Your conversation is an active one when you repeat something said to confirm understanding.

It helps to keep you from offering solutions or opinions when the other person just wants to be heard.

An active listener is fully present in the conversation.

You must establish eye contact to show you aren’t distracted by anything.

The person speaking isn’t necessarily looking for your advice.

It requires a strong commitment on your part.

This technique can build strong relationships with: your spouse, your kids, friends and co-workers. (verywellmind.com)
