Empathetic Listening• Listener puts
themselves in speaker’s place
• Imagine things from speaker’s point of view
• Try to understand how the speaker feels
“So when you are listening to somebody, completely, attentively, then you are listening not only to the words, but also to the feeling of what is being conveyed, to the whole of it, not part of it.”
Jiddu Krishnamurti ~ (1895 – 1986) spiritual philosopher

Tips on Giving Feedback• Consider your motives• Is the person receptive?• Deal with behaviors that can be changed• Be specific• Let the person know the impact of the behavior
on you• Use “I” to accept responsibility for your own
emotions• To make sure the recipient heard you correctly,
ask them to repeat or rephrase the feeback 17
