The Listening "Gym"

You listen all day…but how often do you actually practice listening?

You listen all day…but how often do you actually practice listening? Do you listen well? Consider this a workout for your attention: a place to test your habits, stretch your assumptions, and strengthen a muscle you probably didn’t know needed training.

‍

Think you're a good listener?

Come test it, uncover what you miss, and learn something new-- over a meal

Most of us think we're good listeners...this is your chance to train that muscle for real. Through a series of short exercises, you'll see what you actually hear (vs. what you think you hear) and practice a more effective, evidence-based way of listening.

Come if you want less miscommunication, more enjoyable conversations, and a low-stakes space to try something new. Lunch included, in person only. RSVP is required- please wait up to 48 hrs to receive confirmation

Date: Tuesday, October 20th

Time: 12pm - 12:50pm

Location: Media Lab (75 Amherst St., E-14), 2nd Floor, Room 240

Lunch provided for attendees.
