Ineffective Listening Speech
By show of hands how many of you have been listening to someone talking to you and then when they are done you realize you have no idea what they said?
Hi my name is ......... and today you are going to learn about Ineffective listening .
The presentation will have 2 parts the 1st part being the types of ineffective listening and the 2nd part being why we don’t listen better.
Now for the 1st part there are 7 types of ineffective listening
1st is Pseudolistening which is where the person pretends to be paying attention to what the speaker is saying by even giving head nods and smiles but their minds are somewhere else.
2nd is Stage-hogging which is when they try to turn the topic of conversation on themselves instead of showing interest on the speaker.
------An example of this would be “You think your Physics class is hard you ought to try my math class”
3rd is Selective Listening which is where the listener listens to only the parts of the conversation they want to.
-----An Example would be the other day I was in my car listening to the radio screening channels to find a traffic report I wasn’t listening to anything being said on the radio but the traffic report.
4th is Insulated listening which is the opposite of selective listening in insulated listening the person simply fails to hear or acknowledge a topic they rather not deal with.
------An example would be they’ll nod or answer you and then promptly ignore or forget what you said.
5th is Defensive Listening which is where the listener takes the other person’s remarks as a personal attack.
-----An example of this would be parents viewing any question from their child as a threat to their authority.
6th is Ambushing which is when the listener is listening carefully to what you say but only to collect information to attack you with it later
----An example would be an attorney using the technique of cross-examining
