Listening to Understand
Effective communication is foundational to leadership. It begins with understanding others, and the cornerstone of this skill is active listening. It’s funny, we are taught at a very young age how to speak, and we refine our skill in doing so as we add to our vocabulary, yet when you look back and think long and hard about it when were we taught to listen? It has been said many times over in numerous books on communication that we should listen more than we talk. This course focuses on the art and science of listening with the intent to understand, rather than to respond.
Participants will explore techniques to enhance their listening skills, learn to recognize and overcome barriers to effective communication, and practice empathy in their interactions. The course emphasizes creating a supportive environment where team members feel heard and valued, fostering a culture of open and honest communication.

Delivering Feedback
Delivering feedback is a crucial skill for leaders at all levels. Delivering feedback is essential to drive personal and professional growth. Feedback helps people understand what their strengths are as well as areas they can improve. Yet, it is one of the aspects of leadership that most people shy away from. You would never see the head Coach of a sports team start the season off telling the team to go out there and win and then not talk to them again until the end of the season. No, the coach is there giving the team regular feedback. So, what stops us from delivering feedback to our teams?
