The authors of “Coactive Coaching” describe 3 levels of listening. tiny.cc/CoActiveCoachi…
1. Internal listening
2. Focused listening
3. Global listening

4/ Level 1 - Internal Listening
As an introvert, and as an early learner in medical school, I was often stuck in level 1 listening-worried about what I might say & how I was being perceived.
I was listening to speak & not listening very well.

5/ Internal Listening
If you’ve ever forgotten someone’s name seconds after asking like I have, that was probably level 1 listening.
Another example paraphrased from the Coactive Coaching book:

6/ Level 2-Focused Listening aka listening to hear
I find I am in this level with peers, friends/family. I’m actively hearing the words they are speaking. But not 100% there to catch the deeper subtleties.

In level 3, I am:
🦻🏼 seeking to understand
🦻🏼 reading emotion & nonverbal cues
🦻🏼 actively trying to read between the lines

11/ At what level do you think you most often listen?
12/ To get to level 3:

⚡️ Summarize & reflect what you hear
⚡️ Read & name emotions. “You sound xxx”
⚡️ Ask yourself WHY some1 says something
⚡️”Tell me more...”
