Division of Human Resources Professional Development Seminar: "Listening in a Hectic World"

Tuesday, March 4, 2025 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM - Listening is a vehicle to get the information needed to accomplish work objectives. In today's information-saturated work environment, everyone needs to be able to tune out the "noise" and tune in to what's important. In this seminar, we explore a listening approach that balances the demands of getting the information that you need with the awareness that every interaction provides an opportunity to cement solid work relationships with others.
