Group members will be asked to share from their own experiences.
“I enjoyed all of the sessions immensely and was sorry when each one was finishing.”
“The most helpful topic … was identifying how I listened at present and therefore how I needed to change – then trying it.”… “ how reflective listening helps the speaker towards finding their own solution / resolution.”
“My listening skills grew … I now resist the urge to “jump in” with my interpretation / advice / own experiences.”
“When I was the speaker (in group work) … I felt listened to and empathised with” … “Being listened to with no interruptions gave me confidence.”
