The Neuroscience of Listening
Most people don't listen, they reload.
Use what we know about attention, emotion, and cognitive bias to listen with more precision and lead with sharper questions.
About this workshop
Listening looks passive. It isn't. Real listening requires fighting the brain's default to start formulating a response before the other person has finished. This workshop uses applied neuroscience to make that default visible and shift it.
Participants leave with concrete listening practices that hold up in difficult conversations, and a sharper read on the moments their attention is drifting.
What's covered
- How attention and listening actually work in the brain
- The most common listening failures and what triggers them
- Listening practices for high-stakes conversations
- Live practice in pairs
