It goes beyond just hearing words: True active listening involves not just passively receiving sounds, but truly understanding the speaker's message, emotions, and intentions. This requires paying attention to both verbal and nonverbal cues, like body language and tone of voice. 2. It's a two-way street: Active listening isn't just about absorbing information; it's about engaging with the speaker to ensure clear communication. This means asking clarifying questions, summarizing key points, and acknowledging their feelings. 3.
