Workshop 2: Developing Listening Skills

Being an active listener transforms conversations and relationships. Understanding is the goal of listening and that takes effort. Being an effective listener deepens connections and increases intimacy, be it privately or professionally.

● Know the difference between hearing and listening

● Noticing the biases you have when you listen and interact with someone
