Course Description
Listening Skills are the quiet soft skills sauce that can make or break a career. Have you ever had a client, customer, boss, or colleague have to repeat things to you several times? Or look at you as if they weren't sure you were understanding them, or even paying attention?
The ultimate form of respect you can give anyone in the workplace is listening to them. Strong listening skills seem easy and commonplace, but they are actually rare in most workplaces. Communications expert TJ Walker will teach you step-by-step how to build, strengthen and master excellent listening skills in this course.
"Listening skills are the bedrock of all communication and are the basis of all success in the workplace. I have devoted the last 30 years of my life to traveling the globe to teach strong listening and communication skills to people of every continent. Now, I am happy to be teaching and coaching you." TJ Walker

Here is what Udemy students say about this course
"This course is truly a life-changer. My only goal, in the beginning, was to eliminate the verbal tics (uh, er..umm). I succeed in this goal after 4 months of multiple practices and started to explore other great tips of listening skills, which not only improved my relationship with team members but also beloved people (especially during the lockdown when everyone was stressed and overwhelmed) Why I recommend this course: 1. Each video is short (most of them are 1-4 mins long) and focused on one subject. Perfect for busy people who have very little spare time for self-improvement. 2. You don't have to start from chapter 1 to understand the rest of the curriculums. I went to the topic that I care about the most first then explored other subjects later. 3. No jargon and every word are enunciated, super friendly for non-English native speakers." Nicole Spurrell

I recently completed the "Listening Skills – The Ultimate Workplace Soft Skills" course. At first, I just wanted to check if I was doing everything I could as a good listener. But then I noticed this course is also about effective communication. With 30+ hours of content and 500+ videos, it might seem overwhelming. But the course is well-structured, and topics are clearly categorized, so you can easily skip to what’s most relevant to you. The speaker, TJ Walker, does a great job explaining concepts with practical examples. There are no slides or flashy effects — just T.J. speaking directly on screen. And that in itself is a great lesson in how to communicate and hold attention naturally. If you’re interested in becoming a better communicator, I definitely recommend checking it out.

Definitely a 5-star-course from a 5-star person and I am very thankful, that a man like you offers hist vast experience on speaking to normal people by these courses. But here are some remarks (please don't take them personally, it is just my personal feedback): the course about listening skills turns relatively early into a course about speaking skills. Speaking and listening belong together, but my expectation of this course was to become a good listener instead of a good speaker. Lesson 534: Who is the best speaker of the world? Politicians? Wrong answer! TJ Walker? Right answer! In my opinion politicians are the best liars without having a bad conscience and people, who I definitively would not listen to. Nobody likes to be lied to by high-sounding nonsense. So please make a new videon on Lesson 534: Who is the best speaker of the world? TJ Walker. Lesson 535.

A thorough course! Since it was a mashup the key points were redundant which I could have done without. The best way to improve the course would be to give it a better flow from section to section. I did appreciate the key points were simple to follow, plenty of room for feedback, and genuinely helped improve my communication skills.
By George Meehan on 9/19/2023
This course sucked! The title of this course was about listening skills. It actually should be renamed to Active Speaking. I felt that the instructor just threw together a bunch of videos that said the same thing over and over but for different occasions. The funny thing is the instructor doesn't even follow his own advice. His tone is boring. Skip this course.

Hi T.J., thank you for this wunderful course. But just a hint: it is very very long, I'm sure you know that. And the problem is your messages are duplicated a lot. This is sometimes anoying. But I have no clue how to do it better. To answer your question. The best useful thing "recording yourself by video and view it. Yes I do not like my voice, but It helps enormous to get better!
By Innovations Infotek on 8/11/2021
Glad to take up this course as it has got so much of information in it to learn and understand. Videos covering listening skills along with other communication skills was a real learning treat altogether. What else more could a learner expect when TJ Walker shares his abundance knowledge in one single course. I strongly recommend students, employees and business executives to go for this course to improve the much required listening skills which is undoubtedly one of the most important soft skills, which enhances one's career opportunities and also helps build good relationships with people.

Very helpful in the workplace
By Sanjay Shankar on 10/16/2020
The course instructor has vast knowledge in this field. If any one go through the course they can not defeat in any field. But require a vast knowledge is not easy and time taking. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge in online platform.

This course taught me how to enhance the soft skills I already have to be successful on my job.

I think this course is very enlightening and informative
By Laquantisha Coffey on 10/4/2020
The app was verry fair and useful ...
By Ashley Baker on 10/3/2020
This course is many courses wrapped into one. That would be all well and good but you have to complete all of them to get the completion certificate.
