• Why is it that we sometimes have more superficial conversation with people we care about the most?
• What is at the root of maintaining open communication with our family, friends, and colleagues?
• How can we reinvigorate an important relationship that has fallen flat?

The First Duty of Love is to Listen - Chinese Proverb

Relationships are about communication, and the quality of all communication is completely dependant on the level of listening that is present:  no listening, no communication.

Listening is perhaps the most important aspect of effective communication and the core way to show care for others – but we hardly ever practice and learn advanced listening skills!

Listening 101 for Relationships is a fun, engaging way to get back to – and beyond – the basics of quality listening skills.  This four-week course is offered via four 1-hour conference call classrooms, and combines practical exercises, e-journaling, and peer-to-peer role-plays to create an experience that will make a lasting impact on relationships you care about most.

Listening 101 for Relationships is for any type of relationship: significant others, parent-child, siblings, extended family, friends – or even colleagues.

Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President of the United States, is credited with this quote about listening.  So often in business, either as an employee, salesperson, business owner or job seeker, we feel the need to speak much more than is necessary or even effective.

Dale Carnegie underscores this point in his 6th Principle for “Gain the Willing Cooperation of Others”:

Let The Other Person Do A Great Deal Of The Talking.
Not only will the person share information, but he or she might “talk themselves” into cooperating.

Taking Listening 101 will allow people, teams, and groups to practice speaking less and listening more – and then see the impact in their own work!
