Title: ACTIVE-LISTENING
SKILLS
Audience:
General,
especially useful for couples, clergy, supervisors, counselors, teachers,
and health-care professionals
Description:
Listening –active listening—is at the core of successful
interpersonal communications and relationships whether they be personal,
social or professional. Unlike “normal” passive listening,
active listening fully involves the listener’s eyes, ears, body
language, and voice. Active listening attends to the verbal and nonverbal
communications of others and consciously interacts nonverbally and verbally.
The skills of attending behavior, acknowledging content by paraphrasing,
and acceptance of feelings by identifying them and gentle reflecting
then are the focus of this workshop.
