Course content

3 sections • 9 lectures • 33m total length

  • Why is Listening Important?3:28

    This course is about listening.

    The first thing to do is to listen actively to the lectures. To help you do this, download the workbook, and make notes on what you hear.

  • Deep Dialogue2:34

    Deep dialogue is the highest form of communication between people. It requires a willingness to share openly, and intent listening.

  • What is Listening?4:30

    We listen at different levels - from superficial, shallow listening to deep, profound listening.

  • How to Listen4:51

    Practice Your Listening

    In lesson 4, you'll learn a simple 3-step process for listening.

    Take this out for a spin. It's simple, but it's not easy. So practice it. You'll find your third step is your best friend!

    What I hope you'll start to notice is how the simple act of listening well will transform the way people respond to you.

    And one thing you can do to really boost your results is to keep a record of when you apply the techniques and what you notice. So why not start a simple listening log in your notebook, or on your laptop, phone, or tablet.

Description

Communication makes up around 80 percent of the work of any manager and leader.

This makes listening your single most important skill. So in this course, we’ll look at why this is true, and seek to understand what listening really is.

Hone Your Listening Skills

At the core of this powerful course, we’ll learn something nobody ever teaches at school – despite being so valuable… How to really listen.

And we’ll close by tackling the three main challenges every listener faces.

Listen in.

Note: Because this course is about listening, we've removed as many distractions as possible. There are no flashy animations of cool videos. But the course, short, to the point, and powerful. So dedicate half an hour to listening, and then put the ideas to work, for the rest of your life.

Bonus: I've tested this program out in a live webinar, so the last lecture contains my answers to the two best questions my audience asked.
