What tools do we use to enhance our listening? What is the role of intuitive and inferential listening? Where and when is the ethical placement of unsaid information (or was it “unsaid?”)? Listening includes so much more than hearing, yet in our rush to get to the point, or the rush to predict – our skill-less listening affects the message. Additionally, what is your response to conflict in listening when it doesn’t make sense? These and many more questions will be answered during this workshop.

In preparation for expressive interpreter certification, there is a process of analysis. This workshop will address specific skill enhancement techniques in the mental processing of the message. The participant will practice implicit “active listening” vs. explicit listening as well as linear vs. visual listening, time referencing (in addition to past/present/future) and directional focus. Forensic listening opens the door to a more comprehensive, accurate interpretation of the message. We know theory; in practice however how are our hands and brains communicating when we limit inquiry? Do we create conflict? How do we grasp the message when we are second-guessing ourselves. All this - and laughter. Come join us for a full day of learning? Bring your questions.

This workshop will be presented in Spoken English. ASL interpreting provided upon request.

Request must be received by February 10, 2016.
