To Module Three, subjective listening, this is how most people conduct a conversation, which is absolutely normal. It's about the listeners agenda. For example, when you're listening, you're thinking, how does this relate to me based on your own opinions and needs? Often, you may have heard only one half of the conversation, because you're thinking about your response while the person is still talking. I love this picture. It's a group of business colleagues who went on a hike to learn team building skills.

And the end game was to climb up a big rock be on top of the world. So a typical conversation between two male colleagues might go as follows then is standing with his arms outstretched to the sky and saying, I feel energized. What an awesome view. And his buddy, Jerry is sitting down on the rock, feeling very tired. And he is rubbing his legs and he says, My legs are killing me. I'm hungry.

I'm never going on a hike again. Ben replies, we didn't have a choice. Jerry says, I'd rather be playing fortnight, Battle Royale. And Ben replies, guess the team building didn't work for you. So this is an example of subjective listening. Now, it's always good to have a reflection on the conversation that you've had and This is how you're going to create more self awareness around your listening skills.

So, what have you learned about subjective listening? I'll give you a clue. We listen to others in this type of conversation. It's the basic level of conversation. And that's how most people conduct their conversations. So it's absolutely normal.

It's an ask tell, exchange of information relate from our own point of view, based on internal listening. So I have an action step for you to take before taking module four. And that is observe and be aware of your subjective listening when you're chatting with others, whether it's with your friends, your family, or your colleagues. So I look forward to module four that focuses on the second level of effective listening objective listening
