Listens Deep Dive: Enhancing Connections through Active Listening

Description

The holiday season is full of opportunities to connect with colleagues, friends and family both near and far. Listening can ignite, enhance, or even repair those connections, but how do we know if we are doing it well? In this continuous learning session, you’ll have the chance to consider the ways in which you have listened to others in the past. You’ll also learn about (or be reminded of) the five reflective listening skills and how to implement them in your daily life. You’ll leave the session with a clear idea of how to show those most important to you that you care about them and your relationship.

The Zoom link will be in your registration confirmation email. Please plan to log on 10 minutes prior to the training to troubleshoot technical difficulties, if any. This is an interactive webinar, please be prepare to have your camera on and microphone in working order.

Presenter

This training will be taught by Jill Wright.

Jill began facilitating with the Chapman Foundation for Caring Communities in 2017. As a senior facilitator, she has lead nearly 40 in-person classes and numerous virtual workshops helping hundreds of people find the courage to care in their workplaces, homes, and communities. Recently, Jill expanded her role with the Chapman Foundation as Facilitator Development and Systems Leader where she will continue to help facilitators and learners “strengthen relationships, align teams, and build stronger communities.” Prior to working with the Chapman Foundation, Jill spent more than 15 years raising money for various non-profit organizations that provided research, experiences, and education for the people those organizations served.

Jill, her husband, and two young sons live in Charleston, South Carolina. Jill believes that one of the most impactful ways she can serve the greater good is by raising her sons to be confident, empathetic, and resilient adults.
