Celebrating International Listening Awareness Month
#GLTP Chat – March 2nd, Monday, 1 – 3 pm ET

Today’s Topic, Listening: Listening is a vital tool. It is the key to Building Better Relationships. Listening is a learned skill, a tool that can be taught and acquired with desire, repetition, and reinforcement.  It is the most effective manner to hearing what is truly being said.

Today we will discuss the many aspects of what and how you can become an active listener. When we embrace listening we take our relationships to a more meaningful level.  When we keenly listen to others we awaken a part of ourselves, to be present, active, supportive and loving.
