The most ordinary conversations can often be the most influential, becoming real moments that matter in our lives. One reason that conversations result in moments that matter is that people are listening carefully to one another. The purpose of this module is to help you further develop your listening skills. By its end you should be able to recognize barriers to effective listening, the elements of the listening process and types of listening. Our overall goal is to help you acquire strategies to become a more effective listener.
