B: Hear and Be Heard

Hear and Be Heard is a comprehensive programme for assessing and enhancing relationships management and the people-skills necessary for constructive relationships within our professional or private situations.

A foundational component of Hear and Be Heard is development of problem solving competence:

  • Determining "problem ownership.
  • Applying an efficient, methodical problem clarification/problem resolution model.
  • The interpersonal practices (especially the listening and questioning skills) required to use these models.

These models and practices are used within the training to also address the real-life presenting problems of those studying the programme.

Hear and Be Heard is available in a variety of formats. For a more detailed programme descriptor, click here. And for a discussion of the options, click here.

If you are unsure of the best form of Hear and Be Heard for yourself or for others, or if you would like to discuss the availability of volume discounts, contact Tom Watkins.
