One of the deepest desires of every human is to be heard and understood. Sadly
this rarely happens in real life. Mostly we speak and then walk away feeling
the other person did not hear us at all, being too busy thinking of what they
wanted to say.
This workshop will demonstrate a few simple techniques that can be used to
actively listen and hear what someone is saying. Watch the surprise on
someone's face when they realize that you are actually hearing them. Who knows,
they may start listening to you, too!
I will demonstrate what I call the Listen With Both Ears approach at the start,
and hopefully everyone will join in the fun of practicing these little skills
on each other during the workshop. Of course participation is completely
voluntary and there is no obligation to do more than just enjoy listening if
you wish. |
