In today's complex, diverse, and fast-paced work environment, effective communication is critical.

Listening strategies such as reflecting meaning, restating, and paraphrasing will be reviewed. The intention of this workshop is to develop participants as better listeners, so they can foster mutual understanding and respect with colleagues in the workplace.
