How to participate?
Stress and conflict can lead to our shutting down our ability to listen empathically—often at a time when empathy is truly needed. This year’s International Day of Listening focuses on helping people become more effective empathic listeners.
The next four months will introduce a four-step process and provide a series of webinars/presentations and informative materials to help you develop empathic listening skills.
