A short YouTube talk (TJ Walker) on how to tell if someone is truly listening. Emphasizes staying present (not rehearsing your next line), speaking one idea at a time, and observing simple cues — eye contact, phone use, nodding, and facial confusion — to assess attention.
Did you ever wish you could decode the subtle clues of whether someone's really listening to you? Well, you can, but you can't do it if you're thinking about, what am I going to say next? What's on the script in my head? What's my next bullet point? You've got to really focus on saying one idea at a time and then really looking. Are they looking at you? Are they looking at their cell phone? Are they nodding or they look confused?
