Leadership Workshop
How to Authentically Navigate Sweaty Conversations
Part 2 - The Power of Listening
About this Program
One of the biggest fears cited reflecting our reluctance to give uncomfortable feedback is the fear of damaging the existing relationship. So in our part 1 workshop, you learned how to deliver and receive feedback in a human-centered way that sets the tone for an authentic and productive conversation. In this part 2 workshop, we focus on navigating the conversation using the power of reflective listening to create clarity and mutual understanding that lead to deeper levels of trust in relationships at work and home.
When done correctly, this form of listening helps the conversation stay on track towards a productive outcome. Specifically, listening helps reduce misunderstanding and defensiveness and can create the potential for insight and breakthroughs that are more easily achieved when the other person feels heard.
In this 2-hour workshop, you’ll learn how to listen in ways that transform conversations and build trust and influence with others. As a participant, you’ll learn important listening concepts, models, and tools with time to practice vulnerability and build skills through practice.
