We live in a noisy world, inundated with endless streams of data competing for our attention. Combined with busy workloads, it’s increasingly challenging to be present and know what to focus on.

Listening offers us a chance to learn, foster curiosity about others, and make more discerning choices about what we act on. If great listening is the destination, questions are the path that lead us there.

In this session, we’ll unpack what concepts like “active listening” truly mean. We’ll explore different types of questions and the traps they can present, examine common listening biases, and learn how to use coaching skills to connect more authentically with those around us.

What we’ll cover:

• Active listening
• Types of questions
• Question traps
• Common biases
• The joy of authentic connection

Who is this relevant for?

For anyone who inhabits a human body and interacts with others.
