Description
Listening is a critical competency, whether you are interviewing for your first job or leading a Fortune 500 company. Surprisingly, relatively few of us have ever had any formal training in how to listen effectively.
In this course, you will learn how to assess your current listening skills, understand the challenges to effective listening (such as distractions!), and develop behaviors that will allow you to become a better listener—and a better colleague, mentor, and friend.
You will learn everything you need to know about being an active listener. Being an active listener means you are engaged in the conversation and will get the most out of it as possible. This course explains the five steps you need to follow in order to achieve success. Once you are able to listen better, you will see success increase in all areas of your life.
