This type of listening exists in one's ability to be present and open to what is wanting to take place. There is a sense of not knowing but trusting that the right things will come to the surface. Listening from not knowing creates a condition of being present; a synergy appears which generates a sense of relationship and understanding. One experiences a sense of alignment, interest, and commitment to a shared understanding.</p> <p>Imagine listening to another person, your teammates, boss, and others without judgments, evaluations or distractions getting in your way. Results and ideas abound, relationships are strengthened, and a sense of peace and understanding are present.</p> <p>The action part of the course centers around the internal chatter that at times dominates ones listening. It is this "little voice" in the background that limits ones ability to listen openly. Through a series of exercise and conversations, ones relationship with this voice is transformed creating a new ability to listen deeply without being distracted.</p> <p>The Art of Listening course:</p> <ul> <li>Develops your skill to be present with others.</li> <li>Coaches you in listening without judgments and internal chatter. </li> <li>Trains you in asking questions that open new possibilities.</li> <li>Leaves you with a feeling of trust and understanding for others. </li> <li>Gives you confidence while being with others.</li> </ul> <p><b>This course can stand alone as a Two day workshop or working in conjunction with the "Living In Language Course" as a Three day course.</b></p> </font></b>
