Q

Jumping to conclusions about the points of the speaker even before the speech begins is one of the major barriers to effective listening. This doesn’t mean that you have to agree with everything that the speaker says. Listen to the speaker even if you don’t agree with him or her. Who knows, your initial disagreement may turn into agreement, or perhaps the more that you listen, the more that you understand why you don’t agree at all.

A

Avoid Prejudging the Speaker.
