Effective listening: select, attend, understand, remember

Listen skillfully: identify your goal (pleasure, empathy, evaluation, information)
Listen for main ideas
Practice listening: in the moment, conscious
Understand your listening style: People oriented, action oriented, content oriented, time oriented
Active listening: re-sort, rephrase, and repeat
Critical listening: separate facts from inferences, qualify evidence, evaluate logical reasoning
Analyze/ Evaluate speeches: rhetorical criticism (evaluate effectiveness of messages by the methods and standards used!) effectiveness and ethical means

Feedback: descriptive, specific, positive, constructive, sensitive, realistic
Self improvement: reinforce skills and speaking abilities, evaluate your overall effectiveness, identify ways to improve (goals)

Ethnicity: background heritage (race, culture etc.) Ethnocentricism
