PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
We are living in a heightened technology-connected world, which has many positives; however, it can sometimes cause us to not be as engaged and present in real time! Have you ever been part of an important conversation with someone and they are looking at their phone, as they are 'listening' to you? How did that make you feel? We can agree that active and deep listening takes practice; teams excel when they commit to mindful listening!
With the recent events surrounding diversity and inclusion in the workplace, many of us have been challenged to review our practices to make sure we are meeting our commitment. However, looking at policies and data will not confirm or deny how successful you our business is at being diversified or inclusive. Diversity and Inclusivity shouldn’t be treated as a side project but rather fully ingrained in the culture of the organization, similarly to the way organizations are now thinking about sustainability broadly. One way to do that is to get better at listening.
During this webinar we will review the 4 Levels of Listening and provide tools on how you can truly be a mindful listener. We will blend how mindful listening can enlighten the culture of your organization and what you can do today to support your organization in the current culture issues we are facing today.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The goal of this training is to equip participants with tools and resources to recognize their unconscious biases and apply deep listening as it pertains to training and development.
- Use mindfulness tools for deep listening
- Formulate questions for deep listening
- Understand cultural expectations using deep listening
