More and more research is pointing to good listening as the critical skill necessary in developing deeper relationships, reducing conflict, and finding fresh insights and ideas that fuel success.  Most people think the key to good communication is what they say and how they say it; focusing on presenting their own views more effectively. Although important, this is a misguided approach and represents missed opportunities. 

​

In this workshop, leading relationship expert, Dr. Ted Klontz, will provide numerous hands-on exercises for participants to experience new ways of listening.  Watch him bring the brain to life in a very creative demonstration with audience participation, setting the foundation for you to see and understand how brain functions relate to our emotions and how we communicate with others.

​

Dr. Klontz also uses the latest research on human behavior and communication to develop engaging activities for participants to practice what they are learning, including Stephen Rollnick’s “Motivational Interviewing,” Marshall Rosenberg’s “Non-violent Communication” and John Gottman’s principles on marriage.  After each practice session, there is time for questions and sharing.

​

This workshop has transformed relationships, brought people closer together, reduced conflict in partnerships and increased conversation around many dinner and corporate board room tables.
