ACTIVE LISTENING AND EFFECTIVE QUESTIONING
Active listening means accurately listening to what is being
said, and showing we’re paying attention to what is being
said.

 Concentrate – give the conversation your undivided
attention
 Resist the temptation to interrupt
 Hear the tone of the speakers voice as the words being
used
 Demonstrate you are listening by making ‘continuity
noises’ e.g. em, yes, really, aha, etc.
 Be aware of your own facial expressions

 Face the speaker squarely
 Adopt an open and relaxed posture
 Lean slightly towards the speaker
 Make good eye contact (but not too much!)
 Ask open questions to get the speaker to elaborate on
particular issues

Open Questions begin with:
 Who were you working with?
 What are you going to do about that?
 Where exactly did this happen?
 When do you think you could do this?
 How do you think this happened?
 Why is that important to you?
 Which would you prefer?
Open questions
minimize the
temptation to make
assumptions. They
help understand
more precisely what
the speaker wants to
tell you. Reflecting
what the person has
said can also help.

GIVING AND RECEIVING FEEDBACK
To be effective, feedback should focus on:
 Clear and specific points
 Behavior that can be changed – allow room for action
 Observed facts, not supposed intentions
 What you saw / felt, not judgement
 The most important points
 Agreed purpose / ground rules
 Good aspects, as well as areas for improvement
 Giving value to the receiver, not release for the giver!

In more detail:
 Feedback is descriptive rather than evaluative.
 It is specific rather than general.
 It takes into account the needs of both the receiver and
giver of feedback.
 It is directed toward behavior which the receiver can do
something about.
 It is solicited, rather than imposed.
 It is well timed.
 It is checked to ensure clear communication
 Feedback then, is a way of giving help

In receiving feedback:
 breathe!
 listen carefully (remember active listening !)
 ask questions for clarity (remember effective
questioning)
 acknowledge the feedback
 acknowledge valid points
 take time to sort out what you heard

COMMUNICATING ASSERTIVELY
We tend to adopt one of four behavior styles, Aggressive,
Passive, Passive-Aggressive or Assertive. Most of us fall
naturally into one or other of the first three. Most of us
have to learn to become assertive. It is something we need
to work at and practice.

Aggressive
Putting yourself first, at the expense of others or trying to control other
people’s behavior.
Passive-Aggressive
Appearing to put others first, but actually having an underlying aggression.
Assertive
Expressing your feelings, thoughts and needs without threatening others.
Passive
Putting others first, at your expense

Being assertive
 A direct and honest communication of your needs,
feelings and rights
 Expressed in a way which doesn’t threaten the rights of
others
 Is focused on specifics & involves negotiation
 Make use of “I” when speaking
 Increases your level of control
 Tends to earn more respect from others

Tips for being more assertive
 Deliver your message directly to the intended recipient.
 Use statements that make what you want, think, and feel
as clear as possible. For example, “I want to…” or “I feel…”
 Own your message. Rather than saying, “You should…”
try saying, “I’d really like it if you…”
 Be specific and objective when describing the behavior
or situation.

 Avoid “why” questions to further reduce the likelihood of
the other person becoming defensive.
 Avoid becoming emotional when describing how it
makes you feel. It may also be appropriate to give some
explanation as to why the situation or other person’s
behavior makes you feel that way.

 Be specific about the action required from the other
person, taking into account the rights, needs and
feelings of the other person. If necessary and
appropriate, clearly describe the consequences of the
other person’s behavior not changing.
 Do not be apologetic about your feelings, rights or
opinions. Say “no” to unreasonable requests, also without
being apologetic. Even offering an explanation is strictly
optional.

 Only address one issue at a time
 Maintain eye contact (if culturally appropriate) and use
tone of voice and body language to reinforce your
message.
 Display confident body language, think about how you
stand, walk or sit.

DISTINGUISH THE
CRITIC AND CYNIC

CRITICISM, CYNICISM & SHARPENING YOUR GUT
Criticism is doubt
informed by curiosity
and a deep knowledge
of a discipline related
to your work.
Cynicism is a form of
doubt resulting from
ignorance and
antiquated ways.

Sharpening Your Gut
 Calculate the credibility of everything you hear
 Separate fear and emotion from logic
 Recognize patterns, but don’t resort to them
 Lear to stomach momentary scrutiny

Knowing which feedback to embrace and which to discard
is perhaps the most important instinct for a creative
individual to possess.
