Listening skills

Good communication lies at the heart of positive relationships, and boosts performance and happiness at work. Active listening skills are the foundation of communicating well.

Real listening is about connecting with other people and understanding their needs. Essential for teamwork, active listening promotes richer employee engagement and collaboration. Good listening is also essential for understanding the needs of your clients, building trust and ensuring your message has the right impact.

In this hybrid world, it is also vital to ensure you have the right presence in online
meetings.
