(10/25/2019-10/25/2019)
Course Memo
The art of listening is a critical component of communication, but we rarely receive targeted training on the topic. The strength of your skillset can make or break your career, and improving your ability to hear what others are saying will enable you to be a more effective leader, coach and colleague. This session will explore the vital skill of listening – why it’s so critical, strategies to overcome common distractions in meetings, presentations and other scenarios, and how to reflect what you hear to strengthen relationships.
