Active Listening: What Does it Look and Feel Like? | Thomas Neal | TEDxHolyokeCC

I often say that hearing is a function, and listening is a desire. I’m always encouraged when people tell me they are good listeners. Understanding what it takes to truly listen opens up people’s experiences with others.
Tom became a certified Parent and Child mediator 27 years ago, serving as a volunteer
mediator for the Center for Human Development. Tom has 14 years of experience as an Organizational Ombudsman for United Technologies Corporation. This role gave him
extensive experience in intercultural conflict management while he was covering the
Asia-Pacific and Australasia region. For the past 5 plus years he has taught a course
titled Conflict Resolution and Mediation at Holyoke Community College. Tom enjoys
the enthusiasm his students show for the subject.

    Probably one of the most demoralizing thing to learn. Cause it makes you realize all my relationship problems could have been remedied on my end by just listening.

    Listen to this no matter how bad the acoustics are… it is well worth the listen. What a great speaker, too bad the recording might stop some, but listen anyway!!

    acoustics are terrible. Producer should have "listened" to it before publishing.

    Shame, because the content is good but I almost stopped watching/listening because of the audio quality. It was initially extremely taxing. IDK but I would think a good Audio Engineer might be able to filter most of that reverb/hall echo out and maybe compress it some, to give it more clarity and richness.

    Great content. Terrible audio. Difficult camera work - maybe concentrate on the area in which the speaker is walking around? Instead of following him so much? Will look for this guy elsewhere because he really knows his stuff.

    I really really really tried to actively listen and comprehend through the noisy audience, horrible audio and crazy camera person. 6min 50sec is my stop point score. POST YOUR SCORE, I'M CURIOUS 😜
