About this course

When it comes to creating genuine connections with each other, good communication is really important.

Whilst technology has made it easier for us to communicate with each other, it hasn’t necessarily made our communication more meaningful. And with remote and hybrid work set-ups becoming more common, we long to connect with each other in a more human way.

Communication plays an important role in our day-to-day lives because it allows us to bond with people, share our thoughts, feelings, and experiences with them, and it helps us to reach out and connect. Ultimately, improving communication skills will always be beneficial.

This course provides users with all the information they need to improve their active listening skill. Our actionable tips can be immediately put into practice by your employees, and whilst it will require a certain amount of patience to see improvement, it’s a sure fire way to improve your team’s active listening skill.

The course can be completed in just 10 minutes and provides a printable certificate upon completion.

Found this useful

Interesting, nicely put together

I learned a few things I hadn't thought about as I've always considered myself to be an active listener, but we all have some bad habits and it made me look at mine. I liked the part about gaining confidence in yourself and resisting the urge to interrupt, judge or give unwanted advice!
