Active Listening: Katie Owens at TEDxYouth@Conejo 

What are the three words the speaker uses as a cue to remind her to actively listen and why does she explain they are important? The three words that the speaker uses as a cue to remind her to actively listen are Be, Here, and Now. These words are important because they indicate that she needs to change her body language to show that she cares of what the other person is saying and also show that she is interested in what the other person is saying. 2. What are the two active listening phrases the speaker uses to clarify she understands what the other person was saying? She uses the phrases like “so what you’re saying is” or she will use “so what you really mean is this”. 3. Describe the speaker’s nonverbal communication that shows how she is actively listening. She uses occasional eye contact, positioning her body towards the person, facial expressions, fists unclenched, and has her arms uncrossed. 4. Discuss the challenge the speakers initially faced and what does she challenge you to do when someone is talking to you? The speaker at first faced the challenge of distractions distracting her from actively listening with the person next to her. She challenges the audience to put away distractions, use your body language to let others know you are listening to them, and to provide feedback. My questions and answers... Your welcome :)

I feel like 90% of the comments are from the online health class

Online health is killing me one day at a time

Am I the only one that I'm here because of Life Management skills? ;D

Are all 110,000 of us here from life management skills? XD

Yay, Life Management Skills. As if I didn't run my life for fifteen years before this.

That moment when you realized you've zoned out of the video and have to re watch it again. Health T_T

What did she say? I wasn't listening.

Send a like on this comment if FLVS life skills sent you here!!!!

*Reading comments while "watching" the video*

So basically, 88,084 people from FLVS watched this. Go LMS .-.

My health class makes me want to drink bleach

I think the better question is who isn't here because of a health class?

Thanks Life Management for teaching me how to communicate affectively with other people, I can now easily fit in with all of the humans.

When you take school from home and barely get out the house, so communicating with others in person doesn't happen occasionally.

I love the fact that 99% of these comments are people taking health

When I can't answer my Life Management questions because I wasn't listening ;-;

Thanks life management.

😂😂Eveyone who commented are because of health class😂😂 SAME😂

Great now I have to rewatch because I zoned out in the comments. Thanks a lot life management 😢 .... low key I should have listened the first time

Lol FLVS makes me cry.

I can't believe people from life management class overpopulated the comments. This is the funniest thing I've ever seen. I'm in disbelief that this is happening.

Love this video. Also hear for Life management. Freshman year.

Katie - you probably won't see this comment because the video was posted some time ago, but I want you to know that this was an excellently delivered and very important speech. I have a three year old that kind of looks like you and you are an inspiration for me as her father to hope she could do what you did at your age. Nice work and I hope you are still speaking out on this topic and many others!

hey... I'm 38 years old, and I get a very good wisdom from young person... thank you, what you're saying is very relevant

I did this for my health class in life management skills class. It helped me a lot. I never knew about this channel. Now I do and I am glad. I am going to watch more videos.

Wow I didn't realize how many people take this class.

For any who are wondering, im doing the entire class in 10 days

when your teacher makes you write a letter to the legislator in health and it cant be about a global wide pandemic. :)

Job well done. Kudos, Katie.

This is such a great talk, thanks so much Katie!! I love it!

Anyone watching this in 2020 for class

why did i think online heath class was a good idea

A lot of people need to watch this tedtalk

Am I the only one who thinks Life Management is a relaxing, easier, nice course compared to some of the other classes?

I'm just taking this class for ez GPA

I speak with my friends by putting my hands in my pockets, staring intently into nothingness, and moving my head occasionally whenever they say something that might evoke a response. I'm focusing on what they're saying, but I'm not some sort of extroverted maniac.

Yo someone give me the answers

Who else is here for online schooling?

Listening to her as I read the comments...

Why is this a TED talk, this is goddamn common knowledge.
