Identify ways to give a speaker your undivided attention


Avoid tuning out the speaker even if you hear certain familiar themes or if the speaker is boring. Do not play with objects such as pencils and paper clips during the presentation. Make a concerted effort to avoid mental distractions like fatigue. Maintaining eye contact helps you pay more attention to the speaker. Finally, concentrate on what is being said, not on how the speaker is presenting the material.
