Eszter Bokor (asker) Apr 19, 2007:
Because, as I explained, it has to be a bulletpoint on a list. Since all other bulletpoints are nouns, I have to find one here too.

Listening

You could turn it around this way, if you need a one-word noun.
After all, listening IS to let him finish what he has to say...

Pacing

To be honest I do not think there is an equivalent noun. You could try alternatives such as:
- pacing
- patience
- listen patiently

agree Henry Schroeder : Sorry, Damian, I didn't see your "Listen patiently: Let the participant..."

agree Nadine Kahn : I like patience.

Letting him finish / letting him speak his piece

if you need a noun, a gerund will do!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Kcda : Letting him finish? Ausreden lassen would mean Let him/her finish talking! The participant can be male or female.

Hearing out

...he set up a space for mediating conflicts that he calls a “hearing-out place” where two people having a problem can talk in front of a mediator. A place...where one can be listened to without being judged.
