Listen Up! Listen With Your Eyes and Ears
(3.5 hour session)

Recent research indicates the average person only remembers about one-quarter of what he or she hears. Further, studies have shown that poor listening skills are often the cause of mistakes and problems that cost organizations more than $1 billion a day.

This interactive “ears-and-eyes-on” presentation is designed to strengthen the listening skills of participants by providing them with “tips and tools” to help them in their everyday interactions with others.

This presentation includes:

- Common listening blocks and ways to overcome them
- Common listening misconceptions
- The difference between real and pseudo listening
- How to use “clarifying statements” to create a healthy communications climate
- Listening with your eyes (listening to body language)
- Recognizing when you have someone's interest
- Recognizing when someone agrees/disagrees with you
- Detecting lying behavior
- Handshakes (how to tell if you have the upper-hand)
- Using "encouraging skills" to "pull more talk" from another person
- Using listening techniques to build bridges not walls
- Providing effective feedback

"In my 43 years as a nurse, I've attended many programs on communications. This was one of the best programs I've ever attended. Dr. Gaddis has an exciting way of presenting information which keeps you enthralled in the entire program."
Jan Haas, RN
The Virginia Nurses Association

"I absolutely loved this presentation, and took lots of notes. The "Keepers" page makes it easy to remember the main points I didn't want to lose. I'm starting implementation this week, as I remember the 'do it within 72 hours or it won't happen' statement. Please have Susanne again."
Cindy Tate, RN, Center Director
Gambro Healthcare

"The enthusiasm you showed helped start our conference off with a bang. The way you mixed humor and a motivational message was incredible. You were awesome; thanks for making us look great!"
