Active listening

While you have the conversation observe and take mental notes of how some of the topics mentioned above occured (it could be a positive or negative way).
Write a statement and think back and reflect on some of the things that occurred in that conversation. By knowing beforehand some things that make a good conversation, did you get frustrated on how the conversation went? Where any of the key aspects of a good conversation executed properly by the person who you were speaking to? Explain how effective or ineffective the conversation went.
