Recommended: The importance of good listening skills

To start, I want to express my sincere appreciation to you for being a listening ear for me earlier and not looking at me any differently. I am so grateful for your kind understanding on my situation. I am emailing you regarding the internship. Yes, I am full aware of my situation and that I put MYSELF in the position, but at the same time I was not the same Janisha that I used to be. I really hope you believe me when I say I HAVE NEVER ENGAGED IN THAT TYPE OF ACTIVITY! I work hard each day, so I never really could do it. My mind was not in the right place. Everything I told you today was true and came from the bottle of my heart. This have been on my mind and heart heavy for the past week. I am FULL aware that students are not to make their own decisions nor step out behind your back with any other companies, but honestly, now that I know LaKeshia is not considering interning there anymore, it’s no way I’ll actually feel comfortable because the scheduling was going to be based on us working together. To me, Youth Focus (Ester) isn’t as eager for us because the time we did get t...

    The Importance of Listening for Professional and Personal Relationships Listening is essential for communication, yet is a skill in which most are lacking. Though we are listening constantly, knowing what to listen to requires an enormous amount of discipline and practice, which is vital for communicating effectively. Learning to listen will benefit all relationships from professional to personal and not being able to listen effectively can cause these relationships to deteriorate. “Indeed, although aware of the instrumentality of listening, even trained communicators often fail to listen correctly or at opportune times” (Cline, 2013). In order for all of areas of communication in an individual to flourish, listening must be emphasized.

  • Essay Apology Letter

    I am writing this letter to apologize for what I did. I should not have treated you like a band aid. You are much more than that to me and I know I did not treat you like that. I understand how much I hurt you, and I really appreciate you and how you stood up to me when I really hurt you. I am very sorry for what I did to you and you have every right to be upset with me and I understand. I wanted to get you this letter sooner but the only thing I could think to say was I am sorry, and I am pretty sure you would not want to read a letter and all it said was I am sorry.

    Theoretical According to listening expert and researcher Dr. Ralph Nichols, "The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood.

Listening, as Nichols points out, is both necessary and an integral aspect of the communication process and is one of the most important skills one can acquire. Although critically important in everyday and professional affairs, the specific skill of effectively listening unfortunately is lacking in most people.

    In applying the skills to a case scenario, I found it difficult to focus and use my active listening skills. I do know that in an ideal situation, I will more than likely be one on one with my client and will generally conduct the interview in a quieter atmosphere, allowing me to focus better on what the client discloses. However, with continuous practice I believe I will be able to overcome becoming distracted by background noises.

  • Internship Essay Pros And Cons

    815 Words  | 2 Pages

    Prior to the three days we spent discussing clinical and experimental internships, I had only a vague idea of what internships entailed. I had only briefly spoken with second-year graduate students about their experiences. Thus, I found the psychology professional forum, internship panel, and Dr. Northington’s presentation to be quite helpful. Likewise, all three events provided different insights regarding internships. I had not yet given much consideration to the pros and cons of each internship sites, the experiences that would be the most valuable and lastly, how my internship choice would impact my career path. As a student on the clinical-track, I think that I would benefit the most from (1) an internship site that requires a moderate amount of report writing (2) an internship site where I can help facilitate group therapy and possibly sit in on individual

  • Reflection On My Internship Experience

    1138 Words  | 3 Pages

    I can’t wait to move forward with future internships, jobs, and opportunities that will present themselves. MKI gave me a set of practical skills about the PR and advertising world, but it also gave me the confidence and reinforcements to know that I am wanted in a professional world. The ladder can’t be taught, but rather understood over a course of time. I understand now that I’m equipped with the confidence to move forward and I’m ready to learn once again. Foe the time being, I will close out this internship on a good note with the mindset that I will go out of my way to be sure to maintain the relationships and connections I’ve made at MKI with both my bosses, and my fellow interns. At the end of the internship, and several years down the road, I know I’ll be able to think back to this first real job as the stepping stone foundation that I needed to prepare myself for the world

  • The Importance of Listening

    759 Words  | 2 Pages

    A skill, according the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, is a learned power of doing something competently: a developed aptitude or ability. The skill of listening is a skill that I believe everyone should have but most people lack. Many people do not realize that listening is not merely the act of hearing a sound but of paying close attention to what someone is saying and trying to understand the message that they are trying to relate to you. Most times people say they are listening when in all actuality they are merely hearing you but not even attempting to understand what is being spoken of. The advantages of being a good listener are vast. This skill can positively affect many parts of our everyday life and interaction with people. Nevertheless, it is a skilled that is overlooked in today’s unmindful society. The reason I believe that listening is of such importance is because nowadays people have developed the mentality of “every man for himself.” People are not concerned about their fellows anymore. We are only concerned about our own issues and problems. Listening is a skill that is acquired throughout a lifetime. It is an important virtue when it comes to communication.People should be taught from childhood the importance of learning how to listen. If we realized how much we would benefit from being good listeners, I believe that things would change. Lack of listening skills affects marriages, parents and children, teachers and students, employers and employees, foreign affairs, and the list goes on.
