Thursday, July 16th 8 am Pacific / 11 am Eastern
Our special guest this week, Graham Bodie, Professor, Media & Communication, University of Mississippi/Chief Listening Officer, Listen First Project, will present on:
How to be a good listener (and other dangerous listening myths)
Most of us think we know how to listen well: stay quiet, nod, repeat what we heard. But real listening is harder, and much more powerful, than what you'll find from a simple Google search. This session seeks to uncover the hidden traps behind some of the most common advice about listening. We’ll explore what the research actually says and how shifting our listening habits can open the door to stronger relationships, better leadership, and deeper understanding.
