IABC Qld presents Oscar Trimboli and the missing half of communication
Do you know much about the art and science of listening? Do you know how to listen for what is unsaid?
The last three Royal Commissions in Australia highlight the systemic lack of listening in organisations and their leaders. Confusion, conflict and chaos is a result of a lack of #listening.
Communication is 50 per cent speaking and 50 per cent listening – yet only 2 per cent of people have been trained in how to listen. The more senior you are, the more of your day is spent listening. Executives and boards spend 83 per cent of their day listening. The most influential leaders are those that listen deeply to what is #unsaid.
In this virtual workshop you will hear about:
the most common barriers to listening in the workplace
the neuroscience of listening
the four villains of listening
how to listen for what is UNSAID
Curious to know what gets in the way of your listening? Take Oscar's five-minute quiz to find out about your listening villains: www.listeningquiz.com. It will open your eyes and broaden your perspective of weaknesses in your own interpersonal communication style.
