It explains that listening isn\u2019t just hearing words, but actually understanding what the other person means and showing that you care. I learned that asking questions and not interrupting makes conversations better, and it also helps build trust with people. The course also points out that distractions, like phones or thinking about what you\u2019re going to say next, can get in the way of good listening. Overall, it shows how being a better listener can improve relationships at school, work, and even with friends and family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2654,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7","points","type-points","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/jsharp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/7","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/jsharp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/jsharp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/points"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/jsharp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2654"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/jsharp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/jsharp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/points\/7\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/community.cob.sjsu.edu\/jsharp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
