The Tally Way 

Our Tally Way fortnightly focus is... Respect.

Respect is one of the key components of social intelligence. It is vital when wanting to build quality, long lasting relationships. At Tally, one way we teach our students to be respectful is through the art of active listening. Active listening is a way of listening and responding to another person that improves mutual understanding. Active listening helps in recognizing other's perspectives and feelings and helps us appreciate them. This not only helps in resolving conflicts but also helps foster a culture of respect. 

So how do I become a better listener?

The way to improve your listening skills is to practice "active listening." This is where you make a conscious effort to hear not only the words that another person is saying but, more importantly, the complete message being communicated. In order to do this, you must pay attention to the other person very carefully.

In summary, a great listener, is a great learner. 

Have a ggggreat day, the Tally Way J
