Adrian Underhill Workshop – November 2012

Powerful Listening and Feedback

Adrian Underhill – 6 category intervention analysis workshop (UK) November 2012

There are many instances in life where we find ourselves in the position of listener. It could be as a sympathetic friend, or it could be as part of a formal, professional appraisal. Fully attentive, non-judgemental listening is not an automatic skill. Even if you’re good at it, it’s not always easy to know how to respond appropriately and constructively. Conversely we don’t always know how to deal with feedback we receive, whether it is invited or unsolicited, fair or unfair. This powerful, affordable workshop, facilitated by Adrian Underhill, provides hands on training both ways. In spite of the serious intent behind it, you will also find it liberating and fun.

Adrian Underhill is a world class speaker, author, expert workshop facilitator and specialist in leadership development. He has an inspiring way of working that produces profound results. He is a former president of IATEFL.
