This one day workshop will focus on developing your skills and techniques in listening that will offer your employees greater clarity and empathy.

Introduction

Listening is the most fundamental component of interpersonal communication skills. Active listening is to fully concentrate of what is being said rather than just hearing the message of the speaker. It involves listening with all senses and giving attention to the speaker. How well you listen has a major impact on your job effectiveness and on the quality of your relationships with others.

By becoming a better listener, you can improve your productivity and also your ability to influence, persuade and negotiate. In addition, you can avoid conflict and misunderstandings. It may also encourage employees to speak regularly and openly about issues at work resulting in a more transparent workplace. All these are necessary for workplace success!

This one day workshop will focus on developing your skills and techniques in listening that will offer your employees greater clarity and empathy. You will learn how each skill set will enable you as a manager to be more effective and to lead your team.
