Listening:
 Believe it or not, listening requires more skills than hearing, because it requires  a desire of understanding another human, the way you listen will effect on the way the words will get out of the speakers mouth. it requires a high level of concentration, because it makes you see the world through the speaker's eye.

So listening... 

• Has a psychological communication with the speaker
• Requires high energy and concentration.
• Includes desire to see the world with speaker's eye.
• Need evaluation and judgment.

Now we will mention keys for having great listening skills:

-Verbal: being attention to the speakers words and
feeling that are being expressed by the speaker.

-Nonverbal: which is giving full physical attention to the speaker, clearly watching the nonverbal language of the speaker.

Physical attention to the speaker:
To send a good physical attention to the speaker, you should do the following:
-Facing the speaker face to face.
-Your hand and legs should not be crossed.
-Keep an acceptable distance between you and speaker.
-Leaning in a genteel way to the speaker.

 Being attention and aware to the speaker nonverbal language:
Be always attention to the speaker body language and impressions, the way hands are moving, the way eyes are speaking, the words that are said in hard way.
