Listening to your partner is easy. All you have to do is keep
your eyes open, your mouth shut, and your head pointed in the
speaker's direction. Nothing to it. Right?
Wrong. If listening were that easy, we'd all have it right.
And complaints like, "You never listen to me!", "You
won't hear me!" and "You haven't a clue what I'm talking
about!" wouldn't be as common as they are.
We all listen, but few of us listen well. Too bad, because poor
listening feels insulting and hurts. On the other hand, listening
well – with empathy and understanding – is one of
the greatest gifts that one person can give another.
Effective listening - the sort that helps your partner feel
important and understood - has to be learned. Fortunately, the
skills involved are enjoyable to learn and easy to master –
as you will discover when you take "Listening Better."
In this four-lesson course, you will

people to feel not listened to when they speak

each
