Active listening

In this video trainer and psychologist for PhDs, Karen Huizing, explains how active listening and active listening plus can help you in your interactions with your PhD candidate.

Try and recall a meeting you recently had with one of your PhD students: on which level of listening were you during that meeting? Can you describe what you did? What are the skills you can improve in terms of listening?
