Teach the seven laws of
better listening!
A coffee shop provides the setting
for two college students to watch
and discuss their
video class
project on the on
the most basic of
skills, listening.
We spend more
time listening
than any activity
except breathing,
yet we listen at
only a fraction of
our potential.
Art of Listening
teaches practical
techniques to
use immediately.
It presents listening as a skill your
students can learn, practice,
and perfect.
This engaging program uses home
and workplace situations to teach
seven “Laws of Good Listening.”
The program illustrates the
surprising value of attentive silence,
the need to find something of
interest in the person speaking, and
the importance of staying out of the
speaker’s way.
The techniques suggest how and
when to take notes, the role of body
language in listening, and the need
to “listen between the words” for
feelings.
The program explores how people
use different “filtering systems” to
give the same message completely
different meanings. Each “law” is a
key toward improved listening and
communication.
