Having these critical skills as part of\ nyour communication repertoire is critical for effectively managing\nresis tance and conflict\, building empathy and consensus\, and\nultimately infl uencing change and action. This is especially true when\nnavigating across boundaries of difference — a capability that is of\nincreasing importan ce across all industries.\n\nAs levels of leadership responsibility and ex posure increase\, so does\nthe need to glean insights from and build relat ionships with an even\nwider array of stakeholders. Active listening and s trategic\nquestioning are two of the most versatile tools one can leverage to\nexplore unfamiliar territory\, influence and engage diverse\nstakehol ders\, and build the trust required to successfully lead.\n\nThis executiv e course will introduce a set of practical\,\npressure-tested techniques t o develop your listening prowess more\nfully\, so you can amplify your imp act in today’s fast-paced\,\ninformation-rich\, often polarized and high ly unpredictable business\nenvironment. It will include a combination of i nteractive and\nindependent exercises\, personal and partner-based activit ies\, and\ndynamic case examples.\n\nCOURSE OUTLINE\n\nUNIT 1: LISTENING W ITH PURPOSE\n\n * Neurology and the Five Stages of Listening\n * The “3A s” of Effective Listening\n * Application and Discussion\n * Case Study Activity\n\nUNIT 2: QUESTION WITH INTENTION\n\n * Inquirer Objectives\n * Respondent Sensory Modes\n * Danger and Caution Zones\n * Application and Discussion\n\nUNIT 3: LEADING WITH CURIOSITY\n\n * The “ABC” Incurious Tendencies\n * Cross-boundary Leadership Communication\n * Case Study Act ivity (Revisited)\n * Closing Debrief and Final Takeaways\n\n DTSTART:20220405T120000Z DTEND:20220405T210000Z LOCATION:Gerri C.
