Attendance skill: It is the use of physical expressions such as smile, lean forward, eye contact, gestures, and head movement to convey a message of interest and openness to what the client says
The skill of open questions and question selection: Open questions encourage answers earlier than one or two words, help in gathering information, increase clarification, stimulate thinking, and create a space for discussion.
Presence skill: It means that you put yourself in the client’s place while preserving your objectivity, and this requires the Marshal to have a subtle understanding of feeling not judging what he hears.
Replay skill: It means using different words to paraphrase what the client said in a neutral way. This helps the client to realize that the mentor understands his point of view and that he listened well to what he said. The paraphrasing also allows the correction of any misunderstanding the mentor has.
Effective listening skills: It included returning part of what the client said, rewriting, showing presence, and returning the spoken and non-spoken feelings to the client.
