Listening

Improve Commitment and Engagement

People need to feel heard. In any relationship, effective listening may be the most important skill for building trust and creating a strong connection. Many managers believe that they are good listeners, while their employees feel otherwise.

This half-day training program will develop your skills as an effective listener. It will help examine and expand your repertoire of what you listen for. It will help you learn to listen with the intent of being influenced and help you master the skills of nonverbal listening—inquiring, paraphrasing, and summarizing feelings.

  • The tendency of managers to give advice rather than facilitate problem solving

Outcomes
 

  • Better interpersonal communication skills

  • Greater alignment among team members

Program Delivery Options
