Interviewing for your research? Being interviewed? Want to make sure that you clearly communicating?

The way to improve your listening skills is to practice "active listening." This is where you make a conscious effort

to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, the complete message being

communicated. In order to do this you must pay attention to the other person very carefully.

Active listening is an important research skill, but also supports you as a team member, leader, teacher and

mentor.
