Mindful Listening for Better Business:
The Zen of Listening Hour
Improve Efficiency, Reduce Conflict, Foster Trust
Sign your team up for a live Zoom seminar with mindful communication expert Rebecca Shafir, author of The Zen of Listening.
- Bolster trust, align priorities, reduce unhealthy conflict, improve staff retention and increase customer satisfaction.
- Enhance your team’s emotional intelligence, a “must” for better cooperation, adaptation and implementation of changes.
- Replace the “act-like-you’re-listening” method typically taught in business classes with the more effective and authentic mindful listening mindset. “Zen” simply means being present and focused.
In just one hour, participants in The Zen of Listening Hour will:
- Learn how mindful listening can increase the bottom line
- Dissolve the psychological barriers that prevent collaboration
- Know the “listening stoppers” that derail productive conversation
- Make “difficult” people easier to communicate with
- Reduce divisive conflicts and encourage healthy conflict.
Before the program participants receive a Listening Skills Self-Assessment that they take to learn their personal listening strengths and weaknesses.
After the program, they have the opportunity to email Rebecca Shafir privately with questions.
