Listen To Understand

Develop active listening skills to recognise non-verbal cues and develop empathy to understand instead of respond

It is always surprising when, despite speaking clearly and in the same language, there are still time-consuming and sometimes expensive misunderstandings. Listening skills are often to blame.

When misunderstandings occur, we usually believe the speaker is to blame, but sometimes it’s the listener who was unfocused or jumped to conclusions. We can all improve the way that we listen and also sharpen our focus with simple listening strategies that can greatly improve understanding. This listening skills course offers new strategies for listening and collaboration that can improve teamwork and colleague relationships while reducing misunderstandings in the workplace.

Objectives

  • Develop empathic listening to enhance understanding and collaboration among team members
  • Develop a more positive and open mindset when it comes to listening
  • Reduce time-wasting misunderstanding due to poor listening
  • Clarify your speech so you are better understood
  • Learn to read and use non-verbal communication to your advantage
  • Use your voice to enhance and strengthen your messages
  • Increase meaningful collaboration and build stronger relationships
