Gibsons Library: Active Listening Workshop

Join us for an evening practicing active listening with Maria Hampvent.

Active listening is a skill that supports belonging, understanding, empathy and compassion. It is used to describe a type of engagement with another person that improves their experience of feeling understood and heard.

It’s in response to other types of listening- many of us listen for a pause to insert our own thoughts, experiences or opinions.
In leadership spaces, active listening is rapidly becoming an important and valuable skill to acquire, hone and increase. A leader’s active listening capacity is becoming regarded as a key indicator for promotion and success, because it has been linked to the soft skills, like emotional intelligence, that grow a team’s trust.
