Listening Skills Keynote SpeechVery few people have had listening skills training and the result is that not only are people bad listeners but they are bad speakers too because they fail to take into account the poor listening skills of the people they are talking to and don’t arrange their words in a way that can be easily remembered. This keynote will transform your communication skills. It will not only change how you listen but it will also change how you talk! You will learn about the principals that govern the way that people listen and be shown how to use those principals to make sure that people absorb what you say. Your listening skills will improve because you will learn how to recognize and fix your own bad listening habits and your speaking skills will improve because you will know how to get through to people and make your ideas heard. This is not a dry monotonous talk that insults people by telling them that they don’t listen because they are self-centered people who should concentrate more! Instead it is a lively, entertaining and enlightening speech that will give you new insights into how our brains react to the information we hear. You will laugh, learn and leave with knowledge you can put to use immediately to transform your communication skills. For comments about Sally's Listening Skills speech see the column on the right.
