Factors that might affect an audience’ accurate reception of information
- Focusing on a personal agenda
When we spend our listening time formulating our next response, we cannot be fully attentive to what the speaker is saying.
- Experiencing information overload
Too much simulation or information can make it very difficult to listen with full-attention. Try to focus on the relevant information, and the central points that are being conveyed.
- Criticizing the speaker
Do not be distracted by critical evaluations of the speaker. Focus on what they are saying - the message - rather than the messenger.
- Getting distracted by emotional noise
We react emotionally to certain words, concepts and ideas to a myriad of other cues from Speakers (appearance, non-verbal cues) make a conscious effort to quiet your own emotional reactions so that you can listen properly.
- Getting distracted by external “noise”
Audible noise may be extremely distracting. Some things can be minimized e.g., turn down the ringer on your phone, and the email beep on the computer while meeting with someone. Other noises may be unavoidable .e.g. construction, other-people. Also, there may be figurative "'noise” from the external environment, such as distracting, or inappropriate decor in a room, or environmental, conditions such as the room being too hot or cold
- Experiencing physical difficulty
Feeling physically unwell or experiencing pain can make it very difficult to listen effectively. You may wish to communicate that this is not reschedule the discussion. Otherwise, you may just need to concentrate even more, on the task of listening.
