Clarifying and summarizing are essential sills to master in order to help the speaker and the listener conclude a conversation.

Session 5: Relationships and Feedback
During one’s lifetime, people can expect to give and receive feedback, of both a positive and corrective nature, at work and in family and social settings. Feedback is not easy to do and many people avoid feedback altogether. The authors present their rationale for using active listening and responding skills to build a relationship between the feedback giver and the feedback receiver in order to strengthen the chances that feedback will be successful. This process, referred to as preplanning for feedback, helps to build a relationship that will support the exchange of both positive and corrective feedback.

Session 6: Making Meetings Successful
Attending and facilitating meetings are a reality for most people at some point in time. Most people dread meetings in part, because they view meetings as unproductive and a waste of their time. The authors discuss how the use of active listening and responding skills combined with an understanding of basic group dynamics can help facilitators and members alike improve the outcomes and reputation of meetings and other task groups by taking time for people to get to know one another and to establish a climate of trust and purpose.
