2 Secret Listening Strategies to Enhance Coaches’ Active Listening

Session Description:

Two of the most powerful coaching tools and competencies are asking questions and listening. Not much is understood about the latter. Many people believe Active Listening is the answer; however, it’s only part of the answer. Listening is primarily a cognitive activity, but it is perceived behaviorally. We’ve all fake listened at one time or another, yet others thought we were listening. The same happens to us on a regular basis.

Some of the newest listening research (Bodie et al., 2020) has identified the 4 habits of listening. If listening is a habit, then we have more control over how we do it in our brain. Listening is important, yet only about 2% of the population has ever had listening training. Much of the listening training focuses on the nonverbals of listening, sometimes referred to as Active Listening, but neglects to cover the cognitive aspect, where meaning is made. Laura Janusik, also known as DrJListen, has devoted over 20 years of her life to researching, teaching, and training listening.  Let her help you look at listening in a brand new way what will increase your coaching effectiveness!
