“Active listening is not about problem-solving.”

It’s a common trap: when we listen, we feel the urge to fix someone’s problems. But as Smarro shared in his webinar, Effective Communication, and Active Listening for Criminal Justice Professionals, true active listening is about being present, understanding, and creating space for others—not jumping straight to solutions.

How do you practice active listening in your role?
