Effective Listening Skills Simulation
Effective Listening Skills Simulation
Overview/Description
Although relatively straightforward in theory, the process that transforms effective listening into successful communication requires great skill, awareness and practice. In the course of this simulation, you will attend a day-long seminar, studying the topic of Effective Listening Skills through various exercises, lectures, quizzes and small-group activities.
The day's events will be guided by an instructor, and your fellow conference attendees will be business professionals from various fields and experience levels. Though geared toward bettering communication and listening in a business setting, the seminar environment is casual, offering a safe and stress-free forum for self-evaluation and interaction.
This simulation is based on the SkillSoft Series "Effective Listening Skills" and has links to the following courses: COMM0151, COMM0152, COMM0153 and COMM0154.
