Description

The power of active listening While most of us love a good listener, we may not be good listeners ourselves. How often are we guilty of impatiently waiting for another person to stop speaking so we can chime at their first quick pause? Perhaps we even speak over the person who has the floor to gain control of the conversation. Does this sound familiar? Unfortunately, it happens all the time in team meetings or one-on-ones. While it should not be difficult to wait your turn, people often struggle with this – especially in a remote environment. Known as active listening, the secret is to do more than just listen, establishing a level of engagement in the conversation that reassures you that someone is listening to you. How can you practice active listening? In this session, we will engage you in an exercise that will help strengthen your skills and those of your team. You will learn how to ask the right questions, make good eye contact (remote and in person), and withhold judgement to improve leadership and organizational effectiveness. Join us for this informative session to improve active listening on your team. The mission of Tarrant County College Office of Corporate Solutions & Economic Development is to provide both customized solutions and relevant job training to ensure the surrounding community has an educated and skilled workforce.
