ABOUT THE COURSE

Without the skills of deep listening, conversations remain superficial. Add the skill of deep listening, and you’re equipped to get to the heart of any issue, belief or conflict quickly, directly and compassionately. Your sphere of understanding, learning and influence expands when you deeply listen to others. You provide the gift of validating the other person, honoring their experience without judgment or interrogation, and learn to manage your own ego during the process. Strengthen the culture of your school with this invaluable gift of deep listening.
