Before providing feedback in the listening process, one must fully attend to and focus on the speaker's message to ensure effective communication and meaningful feedback.
Immediately before you provide feedback during the listening process, you must make an effort to attend.
This means that you should focus your attention fully on the speaker, absorbing and understanding the information they're sharing, rather than just hearing the sounds.
Attending to the speaker involves being present in the conversation, recognizing and considering the speaker's perspective, and showing interest in the dialogue.
This helps in building rapport and ensures that you are prepared to offer meaningful, accurate feedback based on a clear understanding of what has been communicated.
