Listening to the content is Level Two listening. But it's more than just the words being said. It's important to understand that what you hear, see and sense together make up listening for the content. Only 2% of us have been taught how to listen, but all of us know when we're not being listened to. "I'm explaining the same thing over and over again." "They're just nodding and saying hmm." Do you know how to listen tone and pauses? How about body language? In this episode, Oscar and Nell unpack how to really listen to the content of what someone is saying. Listen For Free

The Five Levels of Listening – Listening to the Content

The world is a noisy place where you fight to be heard every day. Despite the fact that we have been taught at home and at school how to speak, none of us has had any training in how to listen. Multiple academic studies have shown that between 50% and 55% of your working day is spent listening, yet only 2% of people have been trained in how to listen.

We feel frustrated, isolated and confused because we aren't heard.

As a speaker, it takes absolutely no training to notice when someone isn't listening - they're distracted, they interrupt or drift away as you talk.

Yet the opposite is also true, without any training in how to listen we struggle to stay connected with the speaker and the discussion.

This results in unproductive workplaces where people fight to be heard and need to repeat themselves constantly, send emails to confirm what they said and then have follow-up meetings to ensure what was said was actually heard by those in the meeting. It's a downward spiral that drains energy from every conversation and reduces the productivity of organisations.
