Want to become a better listener? Then you’ll love this interactive and co-creative learning experience in which you’ll learn how to listen to others – and yourself – with open eyes, open ears, open mind and open heart!
Join Karyn Ross and Katie Anderson for a special K2C2 (Karyn and Katie’s Coaching Community) learning intensive on LISTENING.
Purpose:
We all know the saying “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak” (Epictetus), yet most of us speak much more than we listen. And when we do listen, how well do we do it?
When we are listening to someone, are we really listening to what the other person is trying to tell us, or are we listening to our own internal thoughts…to what we simply want to hear…or what we are thinking about saying next?
And what about listening to ourselves? What is our own, internal voice – the voice of our heart – that helps us act and react in ways that align with our values and purpose? How well can we hear and listen to ourselves?
In these tough and extra-stressful times – where uncertainty is the new normal – the need to communicate clearly, kindly and compassionately abounds. We need to be able to hear and listen to the voices of our customers, our team members, our family, and our community. We need to be able do best understand how to help them. And, just as importantly, we need to be able to hear and listen to our own internal voice.
We need to know WHEN to listen to others and when to listen to ourselves, and HOW to listen – in caring, compassionate and appropriate ways – so that we can communicate honestly from the heart. Now, more than ever, learning how to be a better listener is critical – in the workplace, at home, and with ourselves.
We invite you to join us to spend time practicing listening with “open ears, open eyes, open mind and an open heart” so that you can hear what others are truly saying, and, as well, the voice of your heart.
