No more awkward or tense conversations. Giving or taking bad, critical, or negative feedback at work or in your interpersonal situations can be difficult. Sometimes the conversation might even turn negative, and escalate into a conflict that is accompanied by negative emotions like anger, frustration, or even fear. You’ll gain the skills to listen better, read emotions clearly, and handle difficult conversations with confidence. Instead of letting things go wrong, you’ll know exactly how to steer them toward positive outcomes. Master these techniques and notice the immense improvement in the quality of your relationships LEARN ACTIVE LISTENING Active listening is a technique that is used in counseling, training, and solving disputes or conflicts. It requires that the listener fully concentrate, understand, respond, and then remember what is being said. This is opposed to other listening techniques like reflective listening and empathic listening. USE EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE TO LISTEN AND CONNECT BETTER When you listen, there is much more to the conversation than just what's being said. You have to think about the other person's emotions and do your best to direct their emotions and yours. By mastering body language, facial cues, and tone of voice, you’ll build stronger connections, avoid misunderstandings, and achieve better results in every interaction. LISTEN WITH EMPATHY TO BUILD TRUST AND UNDERSTANDING Active listening is about truly understanding what people are saying. It's the process of hearing together with thinking about what is being said. It's also about suspending your own biases so you can better understand the other person. To be truly listening, you must be mentally present in the moment, and understand how the other person feels and how the topic of conversation impacts the other person's life. You’ll learn exactly how to achieve that effortlessly, so it becomes a part of your personality. ACTIVE LISTENING IS NOT JUST A PROFESSIONAL SKILL, IT IS A PART OF KINDNESS Truly listening takes a significant effort. We only truly listen if something is very important to us or when we are actively caring about the other person, and giving them our full care and attention. When you practice active listening, you show kindness, build trust, and make others feel valued—all while strengthening your personal and professional relationships. THE LIFE-CHANGING BENEFITS OF ACTIVE LISTENING Most of us want to get better at talking. But the REAL power tool for influencing others, leading, collaborating, having an impact, and being an an-all-around-better person is active listening. While regular listening can look like being blank and silent, Active Listening is engaged, creative, and responsive. It’s impactful! Gain both the internal awareness and external skillset that are the foundation of active listening. You will be able to have far more satisfying, interesting, successful conversations. THE COURSE IS PRACTICAL, NOT THEORETICAL This is not a theoretical course, you can immediately apply active listening in this course and see results. Every lesson will give you practical ideas that you can apply in your next conversation. These are the same listening techniques that I have applied in my professional life and that I have shared with my clients in coaching, and that you can apply too. HOW LISTENING HELPS ME (AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU TOO) As a professional, I know I need to keep improving everything about my work. I am also aware of having blindspots. I am human, and I don't always understand all the ways I need to improve. No one knows every way they need to improve. But we can learn. This is why we must listen to cues from other people and various situations in life. People don’t often tell us directly what they want or what they would like us to improve. With active listening every conversation becomes more clear! When we listen to others about how we can improve, and when we read subtle cues, it makes us better long-term. HARNESS THE POWER OF REFLECTIVE LISTENING Reflective listening is a term that is often used interchangeably with active listening, but it means going a step beyond just listening, but also reflecting on what the other person might be feeling and going through. Reflective listening helps you reach a deeper level of empathy. GIVING AND RECEIVING FEEDBACK WITH IMPACT Active listening is a critical skill in the workplace, especially when it comes to feedback. When you’re leading a team, collaborating with colleagues, or discussing performance, you’ll often find yourself giving and receiving feedback. Enroll to learn how to truly understand the other person’s perspective when receiving feedback, so you can respond constructively and grow from every interaction.

Master Gmail and many of its bells and whistles to save time while making the time you spend in Gmail more effective.

Note: The examples in this course are in Gmail because it's free and widely accessible, but nearly all the features discussed in this course are available on most modern email clients. Most people use Gmail with default settings, and never explore other options. But the other options help you write email faster. Plus, Gmail is flexible enough for you to change how it works and appears for you to suit your unique situation. MOST OF US SPEND HOURS OR TENS OF HOURS IN EMAIL PER WEEK We largely work from email, and constantly work to catch up to answer everyone. This course will help you spend less time in email, and provide you with strategies to handle email much more effectively than before WHY INBOX ZERO IS WRONG! When you are writing professional or personal email, the emails that come into your inbox become a todo list that other people create for you. So when you prioritize inbox 0, you let other people create your priorities for you and do your time management for you. Instead, work from your own priority list. Stop pursuing inbox zero, and start working on your most important tasks that YOU choose. WISDOM: SPEND FEW MINUTES TO SAVE WEEKS LATER Don't be too busy to find ways to improve. Even if you are busy, I figured everything out for you, and share it all with you in this course, so all you have to do is watch the videos, and become more productive in email right away. Your future self will thank you! ALLOCATE TIME TO CONSTANTLY IMPROVE YOUR PROCESSES The reason most people never explore the extra features of Gmail or other software is because they find a way that works for them and stick to it. But doing something the same way you've always been without improving it is not staying still - it's sliding backwards because the rest of the world and your competition is improving.
