Listening Skills refer to the ability to accurately receive, interpret, and respond to verbal and nonverbal messages from others, going beyond simply hearing words to understanding intent and emotion. This soft skill is critical in fields like customer service, management, counseling, and sales, where building trust and resolving misunderstandings depend on attentive, empathetic listening.
