It’s as important as eye contact and shaking hands. 
Pay attention to your intonation.

Master the Art of Conversation: Active Listening Best Practices
In today's fast-paced world, truly being heard can feel like a luxury. Active listening, however, goes beyond simply hearing words. It's a powerful communication skill that fosters deeper understanding, builds trust, and strengthens relationships. Here are some best practices to elevate your active listening game:

Be Present: Put away distractions like phones and silence internal chatter. Focus solely on the speaker, conveying attentiveness through eye contact and open body language.

Listen Verbally and Nonverbally: Pay attention not just to words, but also to tone of voice, facial expressions, and body language. These nonverbal cues can reveal underlying emotions or unspoken concerns.

Embrace Silence: Don't feel pressured to fill every pause. Comfortable silence allows the speaker to gather their thoughts and express themselves fully.

Ask Clarifying Questions: Don't assume you understand everything. Use open-ended questions to encourage elaboration and ensure you're on the same page.

Paraphrase and Summarize: Reflect back key points in your own words to confirm comprehension and demonstrate attentiveness. This also helps identify any misunderstandings early on.

Acknowledge Emotions: Validate the speaker's feelings with empathy. Show you understand their perspective, even if you don't agree.

Minimize Interruptions: Allow the speaker to finish their thoughts before responding. Interrupting hinders their flow and can come across as dismissive.

By incorporating these practices, you become a more engaged and supportive listener. This strengthens relationships in all areas of life, from building trust with clients to fostering deeper connections with loved ones. Remember, active listening is a continuous journey. With practice, you'll become a master of communication, fostering a world where everyone feels heard and understood.

みなさんには子供の頃から大事にしている、お気に入りのぬいぐるみはありますか？
私はおととしのクリスマスプレゼントにゴリラのぬいぐるみをもらいました。
このぬいぐるみはドイツの有名なメーカー、シュタイフ（Stiff）のものです。
シュタイフは世界で初めてぬいぐるみを作った会社と言われていて、すべてのぬいぐるみが手作りです。
特にテディベアは世界中で人気があります。
私のぬいぐるみの好きなところはぷっくりした丸みのあるおなかとくりくりした目です。
とてもかわいくて、見るたびにいやされます。
