Active listening, and mindful listening
Journal #5
Since I started counselling theory class, it really increased my listening ability. Last week, I went to the training presentation which I go sometimes, but this week was different. The reason I said was different, the previous one I was never listening carefully that much during presentation, and it wasted my time. Last week one was optimal because paying attention and be active listener allowed me to understand more what they tough us. The training presentation was about how to find a jobs that fits you and be stick the job you find it. Throughout the presentation they provide us websites for many agencies who were hiring. Furthermore, listening careful gave me a chance to ask a questions about the easiest way student can get a jobs while they were in school, and were there any places that helps student to look for internship which fits their program instead searching internet?

Mindful listening solves many communication problems. My job, we have meeting every Friday; that meeting involved what area a company would need to increase or to change. However, every employee need to provide some idea that may be helpful or not. Those last week, I took a note and I tried to ignore a distraction that effected my listening ability. During the meeting, whatever came to my mind, I stopped and went back the messages that speaker telling us. Keep doing that, assisted me to recognize the value of the meeting and what Idea should I provide in meeting. Taking this course not only consist my degree but it also taught me how to deal with social.
