The Zen of Listening: Mindful Communication in the Age of Distraction


In this Age of Distraction, the obsession with multi-tasking, speed, and the bottom line threatens our ability to connect with ourselves and others. Poor listening is often the source of unhappy marriages, depression, suicide, customer dissatisfaction, troubled children and malpractice suits.

Speaker, coach and author Rebecca Shafir, presents in a lively and entertaining format how we can change the course of alienation through mindful listening. In this discussion she will give your audience practical ways to:

  • Improving your ability to concentrate
  • Getting your kids to open up and talk
  • Getting others to listen to you
  • Listening better under stress
  • Remembering what you heard

Rebecca will tailor the discussion to your particular group and their concerns. This talk can range from 60 minutes to two hours, depending on your audience's needs.
