Course Description

Most of us want to get better at talking. But the REAL power tool for influencing others, leading, collaborating, having an impact, and being an an-all-around-better person is Active Listening. While regular listening can look like being blank and silent, Active Listening is engaged, creative, and responsive.
In this course, you will gain both the internal awareness and external skill-set that are the foundation of Active Listening. You will be able to have far more satisfying, interesting, successful conversations.
I created this practical Udemy course for you--filled with my unique insights from starting out as a terrible listener to now being a professional listener, a Master Certified Coach. Ive been teaching people how to listen actively for twenty years now and these skills are both learnable and priceless. My course is packed with real-world examples that demystify and simplify what to pay attention to so you can be a great listener.
Good News!
You can interrupt!
You can have short (not drawn-out & boring) conversations!
You do not have to provide answers or fixes or expertise!
You dont have to even like your conversation partner!
Selfishly, I have found that being a great Active Listener makes other people more interesting. Well all be more fascinated with each other if we have more great listeners in the world.
Come join in the fun!

I wonder if such courses can be universal in different cultures. I sometime felt like this is totally not appropriate in the conversation I imagined.
I like the part about curiosity, emotions and judgement.
On the other hand the reflecting back was to artificial. I found "methods" that suits me better than proposed sentences, and I definitely don't reflect so often as proposed here.

The course is very thorough in their examples from real life scenarios along with providing examples of each situation. ie. Good listener, bad listener, the benefits of Active listening and how it will benefit us as individuals in day to day engagements.

Actually I am sick of my own voice! I over-share, interrupt and my Me Channel is on full blast. Thank you for the practical and useful content in this course. I am really looking forward to implementing changes to the way I listen.
