Listening is an art. We are not taught how to listen. As children we are "told" to listen, remember the "You better listen or else" or "How many times do I have to tell you?" You have the opportunity to learn to improve your listening by attending Toastmasters.
Your ability to listen will determine your growth, accomplishments, success in life. To actively listen and pay attention will empower you to respond with full understanding and an accurate response.

This is so true. How about some advice on how to learn to listen rather than just hear?
John.
Learning to listen John takes more than reading or classes. It takes a concerted effort of listening. Toastmasters is one of the best places to learn how to actively listen. Give it a try, you'll find it fun.
