Dear all,

We quickly realize at the workplace that a fundamental social skill of communication is being a great listener. Being attuned to the spoken and unspoken concerns of others demonstrates an openness to their views, a willingness to engage ideas different from ours, and honors the courage of others to express divergent perspectives. Effective listening helps in decision making, conflict resolution, and makes us collaborative team players.

During this Lean In networking event, we'll explore the essential skill of great leaders and managers: listening. The workshop summarizes the major principles of active listening, and how to implement it by managing our original reflexes. We’ll balance theory with practice by roleplaying and games, to help you avoid discussion pitfalls, produce more relevant responses, and achieve short-term gains and long-term wins in your career.

Let’s switch to listening mode together!

This workshop will be presented by Raphaële de La Laurencie.

Raphaële has led a double life for 25 years. On the academic side, a marketer and communicator by training and liking, she has worked in a variety of international environments and served as Head of International Communications for a leading group.

See you there,
