Listening Skills are the quiet soft skills sauce that can make or break a career. Have you ever had a client, customer, boss or colleague have to repeat things to you several times? Or look at you as if they weren't sure you were understanding them, or even paying attention?

The ultimate form of respect you can give anyone in the workplace is listening to them. Strong listening skills seem easy and commonplace, but they are actually rare in most workplaces. Communications expert TJ Walker will teach you step-by-step how to build, strengthen and master excellent listening skills in this course.

"Listening skills are the bedrock of all communication and are the basis of all success in the workplace. I have devoted the last 30 years of my life traveling the globe to teach strong listening and communication skills to people of every continent. Now, I am happy to be teaching and coaching you." TJ Walker
