Description:

Think about the most impactful leaders or colleagues you’ve worked with—what set them apart was likely their ability to truly listen. Great communicators don’t just hear words; they listen to understand, build trust, and create connection.

Join us on May 20 for "Listening to Understand: The Key to Better Conversations," an engaging, hands-on session rooted in the Better Conversations Every Day program. Based on research and real-world application, this workshop will help you build deeper listening skills that can transform how you communicate—whether at work or in daily life.

This session goes beyond polite nodding; it’s about placing others at the center of your conversations and responding in ways that are meaningful and productive.

Whether you're leading, collaborating, or connecting personally, these skills can lead to more authentic and successful interactions.

Learning Objectives:

• Recognize when someone needs facts, logic, or structure.

• Tune into emotional cues—because feelings are facts that shape every conversation.

• Connect with core values to inspire motivation and foster stronger engagement.
