Active listening often is hailed as the hallmark of listening, but active listening isn’t enough. Listening is a cognitive activity and recent research (Bodie et al., 2020) has identified the 4 Listening Habits. Learn how to use cognitive listening habits with active listening to increase your coaching effectiveness. After all, when coaches listen well, they hear more, and they change more lives.  What could be better than that?

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will understand that listening is a habit over which individuals have control
• Participants will identify their own dominant listening habits and listening blind spots
• Participants will practice one to two verbal listening strategies to create shared meaning

In this webinar Participants will:

• View listening in a whole new light
• Self assess their dominant listening habit and have a better idea as to why they “mesh” better with some clients than others
• See listening as a strategy, backed by science, and not just a skill
