We are born listeners. In fact, for our first couple of years, we do very little else, and we do it so efficiently that everybody is amazed at our insatiable curiosity and capacity to learn. I believe it’s an ability we have never lost, only forgotten. This course is an attempt to reawaken active listening in our lives.

“I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.”
