The average person retains only 10% of what they hear. Of course, it shouldn’t be surprising given the lack of listening skills out there. One study found that physicians stop listening 18 seconds after a patient starts speaking. Another study found that salespeople stop listening 21 seconds after a prospect starts talking.
But if you want to succeed in management, sales, customer service, patient interactions or anywhere that involves interacting with people, you need expert listening skills. (Just nodding and occasionally mumbling "uh huh" does NOT count as great listening). In this webinar, “The Psychological Secrets of Great Listening,” you will learn the groundbreaking science of truly effective listening techniques (including the kinds of listening techniques that clinical psychologists and behavioral investigators use).
Here's what you'll learn in this webinar:
- Learn to dissect every conversation into Facts, Interpretations, Reactions and Ends to discover the real message behind peoples’ words
- 1 question that stops people from rambling, but redirects them and can still keep them talking
- 4 types of probing questions that direct people to share and reveal their deeper issues (Factual, Emotional, Direct, Indirect)
- Why paraphrasing can make people angry, and what you should do instead
- 3-step process for resolving misunderstandings (or when you misheard what they were saying)
- 7-part checklist that tests whether you’ve truly heard all the information you need
- How to stop yourself from making snap judgments
- 3 exercises that dramatically improve your ability to observe and detect subtle changes in body language and tone of voice
- How to keep your own emotions in check when listening to someone is making you agitated
- And more!
