Live ‘Zoom’ Webinar
A Question to Begin With
What changes when I listen to understand, rather than prepare my response?
An invitation to pause, notice, and connect.
Listening Begins with Presence
Communication involves more than the words we speak. Our attention, intentions, and inner responses influence how we listen and connect with clients.
This course invites us to slow down and notice what happens within us during an interaction. Through guided reflection, group sharing, and listening practice, we’ll explore how to remain connected to ourselves while making room for another person’s experience.
Together, we’ll practice listening with curiosity and expressing ourselves with greater clarity and care.
What you’ll explore
Listening to Yourself
Notice your body’s signals, thoughts, and emotions during communication. Explore how awareness of your own experience can support a more present and thoughtful response.
Speaking with Clarity
Explore how to express your observations, needs, and intentions with care. Consider how your words and tone shape understanding within the therapeutic relationship.
Listening to Others
Practice giving your attention without rushing to advise, interpret, or fix. Make room for curiosity and for another person’s experience to unfold.
Presence in Relationship
Bring these practices into shared listening and reflection. Explore ways to stay connected to yourself while engaging with clients and navigating challenging conversations.
A Thought to Carry Into Practice
When we listen with presence, we make room for more than words. We begin to notice ourselves, hear one another more fully, and respond with greater awareness and care.

“Listening with presence begins with noticing ourselves—our thoughts, feelings, and impulse to respond. From that awareness, we can make room to hear another person more fully.”
