#MedTwitter, as leaders in #MedEd we must practice to listen deeply to pts, colleagues, & learners.

I never heard of levels of listening until my class when we were discussing #coaching.
The authors of “Coactive Coaching” describe 3 levels of listening. tiny.cc/CoActiveCoachi…
1. Internal listening
2. Focused listening
3. Global listening

But, it helps the listener
⚡️ understand WHY
⚡️ avoid assumptions
⚡️ build deeper relationships
🔥 be a more effective leader
⚡️ Quiet the internal voice when others are speaking
⚡️ Allow⏱for reflection. “Let me think about that for a sec.”
⚡️ Summarize & reflect what you hear
⚡️ Read & name emotions. “You sound xxx”
⚡️ Ask yourself WHY some1 says something
⚡️”Tell me more...”
