Statistics show that people remember only half of what they hear, even moments after they’ve heard it. Surprising? The fact is that although most of us like to think we’re good listeners, almost everyone needs to improve their listening skills. Learning to Listen offers a fresh approach to this common problem. The 30-item inventory focuses on both the visible and invisible aspects of listening behavior.
  
Other learning tools only identify listening style. Learning to Listen measures listening skills. Focusing on concrete behaviors, not preferences, allows participants to immediately take action on their listening strengths and weaknesses.

Overview

Communication lies at the heart of organizational work. Our information systems, our personnel systems, our tracking systems - in fact almost all organizational systems - are dependent on effective communication. With the advent of team-based and flatter organizations, communication has become even more important than it was before. But sorting out how communication impacts organizations can be difficult. Communication is so pervasive in organizational work that we often overlook it as a source of problems. In Communication Derailed, participants will discover the powerful impact of both ineffective and effective communication in contemporary organizations.

The communication problems that your participants are experiencing may vary. In Communication Derailed, we have developed activities around three of the most well documented communication problems in contemporary organizations.
