We often believe we are listening tp our partner during a conversation but that is not often the case.  Do you know what makes you a good listener--one who is sought out.  Counselors are trained to be good listeners.  They will often repeat what someone says to them so their partner knows they heard what the other person was saying.  Think about this:  what kind oeye contact did you have?  How was your body turned?  How was your head positioned?  Body language is a very important part of being a good listener so you can build both communication and relationships for business.
