Listening Skills For Leaders

    About the Workshop

    An effective leader is a person who understands how to really listen to what others are saying. When people talk, words alone do not accurately communicate the meaning. A good leader can listen “between the lines” to the real message and learn to read and observe nonverbal communication.

    This seminar will help anyone improve listening skills for more effective and dynamic leadership.
