Leadership Learning Calendar, August, 2019 - Vistage Jacksonville
Listening: The Solution to Communication Problems
About our topic
This program is designed to address one of the root causes of communication problems: the lack or absence of listening; or, more importantly: the experience on many people's part of not believing that they have been listened to. This program is designed to equip participants with some basic skills necessary to give other people the experience of being listened to. It is highly interactive and experiential and participants will practice paraphrasing four different levels of meaning; finding usefulness and value in others input; managing, and even preventing "rehearsal drop" (tuning out and preparing what you are going to say before the other person has finished); minimizing behaviors that tend to cause others not to feel listened to (such as: interrupting, attacking, questioning, etc.)
Value to Vistage Members
The flow of information is to an organization as blood flow is to the human body. If that information flow is restricted because the people believe that the CEO doesn't listen, then the organization is going to be less healthy than it could be. Also, since senior management tends to take clues for their behavior from the CEO, if he or she does not practice effective listening behaviors, they may not either. Participants in this session will experience practicing those behaviors that increase information flow in an organization; help surface creative, breakthrough ideas; and enhance the quality of relationships.
