What is it?

How does it feel when someone checks their watch as you are talking…especially if you are sharing something personal? Or perhaps when they start talking before you finished your sentence…when you are trying to explain something?

It is so easy to be distracted both in a quick chat and in a deep conversation. This session focusses on how we can choose to be active and present in a conversation so people know the value we place on them.

This session is designed for anyone; you may have a specific ministry or role that requires listening (leadership, pastoral, part of a team etc) or you may attend with your friends, family, colleagues and other relationships in mind.

This session will be led by Anna Naish and Lou Peet.

This is a core training session for those on the Pastoral and Bereavement Pathways. For more details click here.
