A speaker can also ask open-ended questions to the group in order to allow them to be a part of the conversation. Addressing these concerns as soon as possible will help the group stay engaged rather than being distracted by whatever their question may be. In order to be an effective presenter, one must make sure the audience understands the material by surveying the room for any confused expressions or raised hands. A presenter can also be an active listener, and it is perhaps even more important for them than their audience. If you are in a less formal environment, just wait for the speaker to finish his or her thought before asking your question.īeing an active listener is not reserved for only the audience. If you are unclear about a point, don’t interrupt, but rather wait for an opportunity to raise your hand and ask the speaker to clarify. Also, be sure to be respectful and courteous to speakers. Instead, you should maintain strong eye contact, sit up straight, and signal your understanding with a nod or smile. You shouldn’t slouch or roll your eyes while someone is speaking, as this portrays negative feelings such as boredom or disinterest. These strategies ensure you are effectively listening and that you can offer informed feedback and responses at the appropriate times.Īnother important part of active listening is making eye contact with the speaker and maintaining appropriate posture and facial expressions. Asking questions about the topic or paraphrasing to make sure you understand are important steps in this communication process. However, active listening is more than just paying close attention to a speaker, but also intentionally engaging with them. If you are only paying attention to what someone is saying to jump in with your own “bigger and better” ideas, you are not fostering good communication. This type of listening is often referred to as “active listening,” which means you are listening with the intent to understand, not to respond. ![]() Hearing is simply registering the words being said, while listening is paying close attention to what is being said and processing it. ![]() ![]() It is critical to understand the difference between hearing and listening. The ability to effectively listen is an important skill for anyone to have, but it is especially important amongst co-workers in order to generate ideas. This is actually a hindrance to your professional communication skills and makes the workplace less inviting and more stressful. The pressure to constantly provide the newest and freshest ideas in order to prove your value can lead you to talking more than you listen. In an environment like the workplace, it can sometimes seem you have to display a consistent competitive nature in order to be successful. ![]() She’s not only playing the trauma of losing her father but the standard emotional roller coaster of being a teenage girl in a new city, too. She’s done a lot with relatively little so far, making Kinsey Locke the most fully realized, complex character to start the series. The ensemble has been a strength to start the season, but Emilia Jones really gets a chance to shine here, finding nuance and subtlety in a role that could have been just a sullen teenager. This is how Rendell and his friends hide Duncan’s memories, which are discovered by Tyler and Kinsey years later.The best episode of Locke & Key so far works because it feels like it has some thematic consistency, which was lacking in the first two, and because the cast, especially the young actors, are really starting to settle into their roles. ![]() The Tree KeyĪnother new addition, the Tree Key allows the user to hide things in the ground when it is inserted into the right tree. Memories can also be added and removed as we learn that Duncan’s childhood memories of certain events were taken out and hidden in the grounds of Keyhouse. Tyler puts a textbook into his mind to learn more about England to impress Jackie while Kinsey removes her fear monster. For example, Kinsey’s is a shopping mall and her memories are candy in a candy shop. In the series, the mind becomes a physical building to explore. In the comic books, the top of the person’s head is removed to reveal a menagerie of memories as well as the personification of a person’s emotions. This happens by inserting it into the back of a person’s neck which renders them paralysed while a second version of themselves is free to roam around. The Head Key opens up the mind of the person to be explored. In season two, we’ll probably see how ghosts can also inhabit bodies that are not their own. As a ghost, you are able to interact with the spirits that remain on the property too, as we see Bode speaking to one of his dead relatives in the family cemetery on the grounds. ![]() Your dead body is left behind and your ghost can only return it by going back through the same door. Bode finds it and uses it by inserting it into a certain door that turns you into a ghost when you walk through it. The Ghost Key allows the user to separate their spirit from their body and fly around the grounds of Keyhouse. Mark, one of Rendell’s school friends, commits suicide in the first episode by stabbing himself in the heart with the key and later Bode uses it to disintegrate a shadow demon. They can do this striking it against an object, like a flame, but can also make a being combust by stabbing it into them. This is a new key that didn’t appear in the comic books and it allows the carrier to create fire. ![]() Lucas is also able to change into another person and we learn that he has been masquerading as new kid Gabe the whole time. The demonic echo of Lucas uses it to change into a female version of himself (Dodge/”Well Lady”) and later in the season uses the key to make Ellie look like that woman, too. When inserted under the chin of a person, the holder can change their features into any human they can imagine. This key seems to be an amalgamation of the Gender Key and the Skin Key from the comic books. ![]()
