Effective Listening Skills for Leaders (Udemy.com)

Initially I was a little skeptical that I would reap much benefit from a listening course. But after taking Alex's course on speaking, I figured I'd give it a try, and I'm so glad I did. I consider myself a decent listener. But sometimes I find myself spacing out when someone is speaking, or I am thinking about what I plan to say rather than being fully present. This course gave some structure to listening skills and provided specific skills to focus on when listening. I found it very practical and beneficial. Alex is an exceptional teacher. I highly recommend his courses, especially this one!

I appreciated learning about the 4 listening styles. Now that i recognize the difference, even though i likely have been practicing each of them, i will better apply the appropriate style to my various professional interactions, depending on the situation, to deepen the communication.

simple, effective, engaging, awesome. Amazing. Really really good training. Even my wife is happier that i listen to her more just after finishing the course and i havent even started with my listening plan. Thanks so much

good tips so far - even though they are common sense they do get forgotten about so its good to confirm them and consciously be aware of them.

Loved the Practice sessions and the pace and language flow of the Trainer. This course is useful for beginners or newbies in the mid management level.

This course helped me identify and understand listening barriers I was facing in my work and personal life. It provide a tangible approach for me to deal with and look to overcome these barriers.

So far this course gives good listening advice. You will need to practice and get good at the skill of being a good listener. This course so far goes a long way to helping you.

I loved this course!! Best power packed hour you will spend learning how to be an effective listener! So simple in approach, but yet so powerful and you can use it right away. I could tell a big difference in my listening skills when my wife and I were having a conversation. I did not try to interrupt and talk over her as much. I actually listened and understood what she was trying to say. I have struggled in this area as a man because i just want the facts so I can fix it. It was refreshing to just listen and encourage( empathize ) Listen up, take this course and do it now and see the results i'm talking about.

It improves the listening skills and approaching an unknown person, be less shy, more confident.

Seems very Basic so far - good foundation though. Hoping to get some information and/or direction on how to improve on those points I have identified as opportunities
