| Crafty Listening is about the art and craft of
listening where the process and outcome of the
communication can be more important than
the content. Workshops, training courses, 1 to 1 coaching, talks, interactive presentatations, articles on line, all introduce principles and techniques that enable people to communicate more confidently, more competently and more effectively in their personal and professional relationships. Crafty Listening incorporates ideas and techniques, as well as information, research and and theories from various models of communication, behaviour and interpersonal skills, including psychology and philosophy, as well as typologies such as the Enneagram and other models including Neuro Linguistic Programming [NLP], Transactional Analysis [TA], Choice Theory, Emotional Freedom Techniques [EFT], and Clean Language. email craftylistening@gmail.com for updates on workshops, seminars, talks, presentations, special offers and other crafty events. Crafty Listening is not about the negative connotations of ‘crafty’ e.g. deviousness and manipulation, under-handedness, deception, etc., but more about finer qualities such as skilfulness, dexterity, ingenuity, subtlety - surely the very essence of rapport building? Crafty listening; is an effective way to connect wherever hard work, happenstance or chance place us when we need to take responsibility for our 50% contribution to the quality and process of our communication By actively seeking to understand where other people are ‘coming from’ and where they would like to go, we can facilitate them to express their fears and anxieties or their hopes and disappointments so that communication and connectedness are more likely to flow well. And, in principle and on purpose, Crafty listening helps us to do. This is not altruistic self-denial, it is
enlightened self-interest. And self interest because, on the premise that ‘we are in it together’, by replacing ‘me’ with ‘we’, we can dismantle barriers and build bridges across differences so that, together, we can move toward a more compelling future. |
| People who attend Crafty events will have some coaching in how to teach certain techniques to other people - colleagues, students, clients - which helps to prevent so-called 'Skills Fade'. |
