What listening qualities do you want to develop?

  What actions, specifically, are you

willing to commit to taking right now to help you along with this goal?  Be specific, and
connect with the learning materials from this module.  How will you hold yourself
accountable?  How will you measure your improvement?
Your Answer:

I want to work on remembering better.  Right now I am learning to write things down as
I'm talking with my supervisor or coworker or immediately after.   I think our text has
many good suggestions for how to be a better listener, including not multitasking.  I
think the statement to be more silent while listening (loose paraphrase) is important to
me because I start thinking about other things I need to do, focus on, etc, other than the
conversation.  If I am being given instruction I immediately start thinking how to
accomplish the task instead of listening to the complete conversation.  I will continue to
write things down and ask questions to make sure I am hearing things correctly.  I will
measure my improvement by being able to remember things easier without writing them
down.
