I have learned active listen, when people talk you must really listen to other team members. Don’t jump to conclusion let people finish to talk. Make things clear for yourself and for the sender and let the sender know that you really understand him. I don’t like give feedback but this lesson have me learned that I must give feedback. Active listen have me learned pay attention what people talk and give a feedback. We must write what I like and dislike in people’s behavior while listen to me. Verbal I like that people replies, asking question. Non verbal waving and eye contact. I dislike changing the conversation and looking somewhere else. No eye contact.

It's great that you have learned about active listening and the importance of really focusing on other team members when they are speaking. Active listening involves refraining from making assumptions and allowing others to complete their thoughts before responding. It is also about seeking clarity for both yourself and the sender, and letting them know that you truly understand what they are saying.

You mentioned that giving feedback was something you did not particularly enjoy. However, active listening has taught you the importance of providing feedback. Feedback is valuable because it allows for communication to be more effective and helps build stronger relationships within a team.

When practicing active listening, it can be helpful to take notes on what you like and dislike about people's behavior while they are speaking to you. This can include both verbal and non-verbal cues. For example, you might appreciate it when someone replies to your statements or asks follow-up questions. Non-verbally, you may find it positive when someone maintains eye contact or uses gestures like waving to show engagement.

Conversely, you may dislike it when the conversation is abruptly changed or when someone looks elsewhere, indicating a lack of attention or interest.

By actively observing and noting these behaviors, both positive and negative, you can become more aware of the impact they have on your ability to listen effectively and provide constructive feedback.
