Most people don’t realize that we spend more time listening than in any other form of communication. However, listening is not a skill we are born with and not a subject we learn in school. We are taught reading, writing, and even public speaking, but rarely– even at most universities– are people taught listening skills. With listening being as important as it is to successful communication and relationships, you’d think it’d be taught somewhere along the way as a prerequisite to– everything else?

Like you I’m a relationship coach and also a communication professor. So many people need to learn how to listen effectively. Your class represents a fabulous opportunity for everyone. I hope it’s filled to the limit!
