CLEARINGHOUSE
OF ACADEMIC ADVISING RESOURCES |
Featured this month in the Clearinghouse: Effective
Communication and Listening Skills web links. Carl Rogers,
in On Becoming a Person, notes that "Real communication
occurs when we listen with understanding."
Listening encompasses
much more than just hearing. Instead it extends to eye contact,
body language, verbal responses, and vocal tone. Use the
Clearinghouse links to treat yourself to a five minute
professional development seminar and rejuvenate one of your most
crucial job skills.
