 Now that we've talked through some of the various elements of interpreting and how some different things like non-verbal communication and frame of reference relate to Interpreting in the hurryer model. I want to talk about how we can work to improve our interpreting skills and just offer a few more tips Along those lines. So again, just as one last reminder We're in the hurryer model stands for hearing understanding and remembering interpreting evaluating and responding and we are specifically talking about Interpreting so where it fits into that model and that you know as we process things and make sense of things We work to understand interpret and evaluate. So that's where we're at within the hurryer model in that context. So Again, having talked about some of the different elements, so let's talk about what we can do to improve our interpretation as listeners First we can account for frame of reference. I have a whole separate video on frame of reference We'll link that in the comments that are in that section down below there So you can find that but frame of reference is such an important aspect of listening and interpretation and listening in particular because everybody kind of hears things differently To be quite honest our frame of reference is so influential in how we interpret information that that it causes us to hear and listen to Things differently So we need to account for the fact that the way we hear something and the way that we are Processing and interpreting that information is different than somebody else So we need to account for the fact that there may be some differences that come up due to frame of reference So we can account for that We can also increase our empathy and our emotional intelligence again We had a whole separate video on that we'll link to that but we can increase our emotional intelligence so that we can better Recognize and and understand the emotions of others as well as recognize the emotions And the role that our own emotions play in the way that we can manage those and express those more effectively as listeners and and Just that the the impact of emotion in general on listening and the role of emotional intelligence in more accurately interpreting Are what we are hearing and helping us listen more effectively in that regard So again as part of the emotional intelligence we can recognize and name our emotions We can ask for feedback on how we can do a better job and how we can Gather more information on on understanding the emotions of others and actually we can read more Studies have shown that reading even even reading novels will give us a better sense of the emotions of others And just the fact that others have emotions that may be different from ours, right? That may be different and so reading can offer those opportunities for us to expand our emotional intelligence And then we can understand nonverbal elements We have again holes everything on nonverbal and and listening But we can understand the nonverbal elements in the role that they play in listening by being sensitive to nonverbal Messages by deciphering the meaning more accurately of those nonverbal messages understanding that there are variables there that culture impacts nonverbal messages that they're just ambiguous in general and so Learning to more effectively and accurately decipher the meaning of those nonverbal messages so interpretation plays a key role in listening we need to understand that There's an aspect of listening that is subjective in that regard that it does involve interpretation and we ought to work to Interpret the messages that we are hearing as listeners in the most effective and an accurate way possible if you have questions about Interpretation and the role that it plays in the listening process or anything else related to listening Please feel free to email me. I'd love to hear from you there in the meantime I hope that you will try and begin to employ these techniques for improving our Interpretation skills and your interpretation skills as part of the listening process
