    Active Listening is about being humble and willing to learn. Active listening is a human exercise full of returns. Thanks very much! Great short - concise video. I loved it.

      Pipo you must be attending one of the top academic schools in the United States...because they allowed you to change your given name for a name that ignorant Americans will not learn. Bummer! I hated that when I was at Ohio State and international students were using Americanized names...sorry for our nation and sorry that it was done to you.

    I have listening problem also.. I worked as a receptionist.. I worked here almost 1 year already, I still very struggling to understand what the customer are telling to me..
    When there is a customer walk in to my office I will ask him.. Wat his name and Wat his company name.. The customer need to mention their company name 3 or 4 times for me to understand..
    still some customer will tell their company name very fast and quickly.. Which will make me to feel hard to catch what their company name actually..
    Sometimes I feel fed up and I will give the customer a piece of paper and I will ask the customer to write their company name in that piece of paper ..After they write I feel easy to inform to the staff or manager that there is a visitor coming from this company, his name is Jacob.. If the visitor just tell to me I feel it's so difficult to understand, sometimes visitors or customers use to See me very weirdly..
    I know it's not professional by giving a piece of paper to walk in customer or visitor and ask them to write their company name all.. but sometimes I have no other way..
