The average person speaks at a rate of 125-150 words per minute, while the average person can listen at a rate of up to 400 words per minute. By pausing and allowing silence, you can create space for the other person to express their thoughts and feelings. Managing distractions, such as technology notifications, and practicing deep breathing can help improve listening skills. Drinking water and staying hydrated can enhance focus and attention during conversations.
