Effective Listening
The art of listening is one of the most outstanding characteristics of an effective communicator. Our ability to listen includes displaying an interest in conversation, processing information and providing the speaker with adequate feedback. Lacking the skill of effective listening results in frustration for both sides — the listener and the speaker. In the Effective Listening course you will practice verbal and non-verbal reactions that affect the flow of any conversation and the speaker’s disclosure. This course outlines 12 steps that will allow you to become a better listener.
- Do you know how to get other people to open up and share their thoughts without interrupting and being disrespectful?
- Can you maintain a dialogue with only a few questions?
- Are you able to just listen when communicating with others?
- Do you have difficulties understanding other people’s verbal messages and feelings when building relationships?
- Can you express listening and attention without saying a word?
- Do you know how to manage the intensity of communication and conduct conversation in a desired direction?
- Are you able to create a positive impression with your listening skills?
