Active Listening Training

Active listening is the key to effective communication as it requires a real two-way exchange of information between two or more people. It helps in gaining better understanding, giving better responses and building rapport that will help you in making better decisions and judgments. Learn how you can develop your active listening skills by attending PD Training’s Active Listening Training Course.

This course covers the following: what active listening is, the differences between 'hearing' and 'listening', how to develop the ability to actively listen, how your emotions affect the ability to listen and communicate, the importance of active listening for a productive brainstorming and much more. Additionally, this course touches on body language as well as specific types of questioning techniques. After learning and implementing these active listening techniques taught in this course, you will become a more effective communicator and experience better results in your relationships at the workplace.

This comprehensive training course is now available across the United States, including Atlanta, Austin, Baltimore, Birmingham, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Jackson, Los Angeles, Manhattan, Miami, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Antonio and Seattle.

Course Reviews

  • The tools and interchange of what a "true conversation" is between listener and talker was huge! I am so very much self aware now and confident in how to effectively be a thoughtful and intentional listener."Fulton County Schools
  • Very useful training and we took away a lot of insight to be better listeners."UCDFD
  • The presenter was excellent. Her attention to each participants' aims of the workshop were attended to very well. She directed the training to specific modules which were helpful to particular participants and skimmed over modules that were not as applicable to us. I appreciated her style of teaching and presenting and would recommend her as a trainer to other people."Salvation Army
  • The training pointed out things we take for granted that affect our effective listening skills."Speech Processing Solutions
  • Fantastic knowledge and enthusiasm. Had a really good day, was fun, informative and useful both for my professional and personal lives."Individual Participant
