Too many people are so busy talking. They have forgotten the art of listening. This entertaining interactive course will provide an excellent opportunity for users to build and develop their communication skills required at work.

The team at Cutting Edge provide a humoros approach to learning some listening skills. Carol tells Marcus he is not listening to her, so after agreeing to listen, Marcus is inspired to run a listening session with the team. Listening skills are lacking. Carol offers some facts about listening and communication, and they attempt to explore empathic listening skills.

Carol offers some facts about listening and communication while Sam interrupts and talks over her while correcting the facts. The training session shows how people are talking at each other. The lack of genuine ‘active’ listening means most of the team end up annoyed with each other.
