Listening Skills: Listening 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.

Susanne Gaddis, The Communications Doctor

"One of the most valuable gifts we can give one another is to listen."
Dr. Susanne Gaddis

"Thank you so much for your wonderful presentations this week. The paralegals were disappointed that the time passed so quickly. We all learned more about ourselves and how to communicate positively with others-at home and work. You made such a positive impact on us and we are very grateful!"
Sarah Nelson

"Dr. Gaddis' techniques for effectively listening and motivating others were put to immediate use by our staff. In fact, the interaction in her seminar helped our employees get to know each other and establish new friendships. Personally, her seminars have helped me in teaching classes I hold for our company - she has a terrific effect on people."
Jerry Klumas, Raytheon
