"Active Listening," first developed by Rogers and Farson, is a therapeutic technique designed to promote positive change in the client. Active listening is a communication technique used in counselling, training and conflict resolution, which requires the listener to feed back what they hear to the speaker, by way of re-stating or paraphrasing what they have heard in their own words, to confirm what they have heard and moreover, to confirm the understanding of both parties. It continues to have a lasting influence to this day.
Active Listening Techniques will help you do just that, so you can ensure the people around you feel respected, understood, and heard--in the workplace and beyond.
Discover the active listening skills to reach success thanks to this book -The Active Listener-.
