Call for Papers, Special Issue: Best Practices in Listening Education
Often we think of communication as talking--and talk we do! We advise, judge, reassure, analyze, argue, console, etc. But, good communication is more than just talking. Good communication requires good listening as well as talking. Listening is one of the most important skills you can have. How well you listen has a major impact on your job effectiveness, and on the quality of your relationships with others. Indeed, we spend more communication time listening than we do talking. Yet, we receive almost no training in effective listening
