Questioning & Listening Skills

To listen, really listen, is a difficult thing to do. The dictionary definition is to ‘attentively hear a person speaking’. Few of us do this. We will cover techniques to help delegates increase their ability to listen. Coupled with this, we will focus on developing a good questioning technique so that they ask the right questions to discover the right need.
