Learn Active Listening Skills
Building on the skills learned in step 1 of ETT™ training, identifying your own needs and wants, participants then learn how to become aware of the needs and wants of others. In this second stage of ETT™ training, you will practice many active listening skills (using 2-line interactions and short scripts), including: - Making and maintaining eye contact; - Experiencing the wants and needs of others; - Getting your own wants/needs met by others; - Getting your own needs and wants met when words and needs don't match. 
Unlike other communication programs, ETT™ allows the participants to actually practice active listening skills and observe others working on their own listening skills. The video (to right) shows participants working on the earliest stage of active listening.
