Life coach Otto Siegel shared his insights about the challenges of deep listening and how to address them to enhance learning.
People Unlimited had the pleasure of hosting Otto Siegel this July weekend event, on Sunday July 17th 2016.
Siegel’s presentation outlined the reasons why we might not listen properly and ways to improve this skill. He emphasized that without strengthening this skill we may not fully understand and absorb the valuable information that a person is attempting to give us, in an informative or educational manner. He also discussed the need to understand the difference between the content and context of what is being spoken, as both convey meaning. Otto suggested that listening is just as important a skill as talking, or maybe even more important. He noted that the deepest human need is to be heard and that listening fully builds trust between people.
