When it comes to communication at work, the quality of your listening matters. We know that team members who feel valued and appreciated are more motivated to contribute, hold a higher level of trust, and are more willing to share ideas. Being intentional about how you listen is crucial, and

Appreciative Listening aims to make the speaker feel valued and truly understood without judgment. This approach not only fosters a positive and inclusive environment but also enhances collaboration, creativity, and problem-solving within teams.

By combining active listening with positive psychology, our Appreciative Listening framework makes it simple and enjoyable to listen to those with whom we agree and disagree. In this workshop, participants will learn and practice Appreciative Listening through applied improvisation games and other experiential exercises.

Additionally, participants will learn the difference between open and closed-ended questions and how to use them effectively depending on the situation and desired outcome.
