Here are the key points discussed in the video:
- Pressure is a privilege. It means we have been given an opportunity that others don't have. We should see pressure as a challenge rather than a threat.
- When under pressure, our minds can shift from automatic, intuitive thinking to slower, more deliberate thinking. This causes us to overthink and lose focus on the task.
- Our nervous system's stress response is meant to help us react quickly in dangerous situations. But in performance situations, this stress response is unnecessary and counterproductive.
- To perform our best under pressure, we need to train our mind and body to stay calm and focused. We can do this through mental rehearsal, visualization, controlling

A time you weren't listened to
• Think of a time when you felt that you weren't listened
to (could be work, family, doctors, shopping etc) • Share stories. • The listener must try and identify 2 things: what the person in the story did that demonstrated non- listening and what impact this had on the speaker (usually they feel devalued, angry, upset, hurt). • You can gather all the ideas together and develop some principles of good listening by reversing what happened in the stories." EFFECTIVE & ACTIVE LISTENING
INSTRUCTOR: SARWAT TAMER
“One of the most sincere forms of respect is actually listening to what another has to say.”
Bryant H. McGill DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LISTENING AND HEARING • Hearing is an accidental and automatic brain response to sound that requires no effort. For example, we are accustomed to the sounds of honking cars, construction workers, planes, the rattling of pots and pans, and so on. • Listening a skill, is purposeful and focused rather than accidental. As a result, it requires motivation and effort. Example: paying attention not only to the lecture/presentation, but how it is presented, the use of language,(words) and how the other person uses his/her non-verbal cues. Define Active/Effective Listening • It is the process of listening attentively while someone else speaks, acknowledging, reflecting back paraphrasing and withholding judgment.
Reflect: Think deeply or carefully about the speaker’s train of thought.
Paraphrasing: express the meaning of (something written or spoken) using different words, especially to achieve greater clarity. Acknowledge: accept or admit BARRIERS TO EFFECTIVE LISTENING ❖ Inappropriate Non-Verbal Cues ✔Leaving the room while the speaker is presenting. ✔Fidgeting or making distracting physical movements. ✔Checking text messages, yawning, looking around the room or off Into the distance. ✔Daydreaming: Listener hears something that sets off a chain of unrelated thoughts in their head – they become distracted by their ‘own world’ and adopt a ‘far-away’ look. ❖Preconceived ideas or bias: Being open-minded to the ideas and opinions of others, this does not mean you have to agree but should listen and attempt to understand. ❖Physical state: Hunger, tiredness, physical pain, depression, temperature of the room, sitting on an uncomfortable surface ❖Noisy Transmittance: The listener may not be able to understand the message due to a lot of noise in the surrounding. Example problem with the signal transmission or the speaker’s microphone, construction work etc. ❖Different Levels of Perception: All the listeners do not have the same level of understanding. Example, listener with lower level of understanding could face a problem in decoding the message aptly. https://youtu.be/Fqw-9yMV0sI • What is Alanna Shaikh, Global health expert talking about? • Discuss at least three or four important points that the speaker talk about during her talk. • What recommendation/recommendations did the speaker give at the end of the video? Key Elements of Effective Listening • Maintain eye contact give undivided attention and acknowledge the speaker’s message • Don’t look at your watch, phone, other people or activities in or beyond the room • Refrain from side conversations. • Body language—crossed arms with negative expressions can make you seem offensive. • Offer some facial expressions, such as a nod or a smile. • Ensure your posture and demeanour (the way a person behaves toward other people)are open and inviting (3) Provide feedback • Ask related and relevant questions. • Seek clarification if needed. (4) Respond appropriately • Avoid attacking the speaker verbally or otherwise putting them down • Treat the other person as you would want to be treated. (5) Defer judgment • Be empathetic (put yourself in other person’s shoe) • Consider the communication from the perspective of the speaker • Listen to the entire message before interjecting with your own comments. (6) Stop talking: You should accept the role of a listener by concentrating on what the speaker says. While someone else has the floor and is handling the show, don’t interrupt with a quick reply or opinion. It is true that by interrupting talks with their opinions, the listener sidetrack discussions and cause hard feelings among others. (7) Physical Preparation: Listeners should sit erect and look at the speaker with a view to establish interest in the him/her (sitting posture).Use a small pad and pen to jot down the important points, which will in turn help you improve your concentration and increase your understanding. CONCLUSION ARISTOTLE PERSUASIVE TECHNIQUES • Ethos or the ethical appeal, means to convince an audience of the author’s credibility • Pathos or the emotional appeal, means to persuade an audience by appealing to their emotions. • Logos or the appeal to logic, means to convince an audience by using logic or reason.
