1. Meetings –

In meetings members of your audiences can show they are not listening by talking and having side conversations. Some ways of noticing meetings that will help everyone is to allow the idea of everyone to be involved and have input within the meeting and allow broadened ideas and questions to keep them listening.

Group Communication –

Is evolved from group meetings when all are involved and having to contribute to the cause of the meeting and want to show to be interested. I for one enjoy meeting when others are leading and I can offer many ideas and be involved in the idea making and communication because I don't have to make decisions and that is a fun group meeting for me.

Public Speaking –

When public speaking it is best to have many people listening and to have many visual methods to represent the message you are trying to relay to the group. Public speaking is the one way to have everyone on the same page and offer a variety of information to the group. It is one of the best ways in my opinion to get your points across to everyone and be able to have a good presentation.

2. Some signs that audience members may not be listening during meetings include: lack of eye contact, distracted gaze, little to no reaction to what you are saying ("blank stares"), or chatting. To help their audience focus, presenters can make their presentation interactive by asking questions or asking for suggestions. If the meeting is about a team project, the presenter can try to incorporate the names of team members into their talk, which will catch the teammates' attention. Another strategy is to schedule meetings earlier in the day when everyone is feeling fresh, versus the end of the day when people are looking to go home.

In group communication, public speakers can show others that they are listening by giving the speaker some type of reaction (like smiling or nodding), taking notes, and making eye contact. Some ways to give feedback on what is being communicated by group members include direct communication ("Katie brought up a great point about_") or by acknowledging/referencing an idea from their talk. It's important to help everyone in a group feel that they are being heard so that the dialogue is open and effective. When all group members feel heard, the team can prevent feelings of resentment, give everyone a sense of value, and create a stronger team bond.

Audience members can give public speakers cues to show that they are listening. Some cues include eye contact, reactions, and note taking. To encourage an audience to tune in, listen, and pay attention, a speaker can use interesting visual aids (videos, colorful charts to show data, relevant photos), language specifically tailored for the audience (such as using elementary vocabulary instead of academic jargon when speaking to young children), and structuring their talk so that it is easy to follow (chronology, following with relevant ideas, good segues, etc.).
