Listening to Hear

AgilEmpath

This is a skills building curriculum that will improve connection with ourselves & others to help manage conflict. We are emotional, intuitive beings when we tune in. Let's not fear the intensity of emotions, learning to regulate them. In this course you will learn to navigate challenging situations, successfully solving problems, and resolving conflict with others. Specifically we will focus on the following techniques:

* Keep focus on what is being said verbally & non-verbally. When there is incongruence in the two, look to the non-verbal communication for keys to what the person is really saying.

* Let it go if you cannot control it, doing what you can with what is within your control.

* Listen for the other person's perspective & feelings, validating them even if you do not understand what they are experiencing.

* Avoid giving advice, instead asking open ended questions.

* Ask for clarification when something offends you, listening for insight.

* Enhancing Active Listening Skills with Artificial Intelligence

We introduce a proactive training tool as a resource to begin utilizing with your teams, The Appreciative Inquiry. This will build skills and train your people to utilize healthy communication strategies in crisis, to solve problems and move through conflict successfully.

Rise to become an expert communicator that people naturally want to follow and learn from. This is your blueprint for success with communication.

*Lectures are Slide Deck presentations with voiceover lecture*
