LinkedIn Learning Course

Effective Listening

1hr 4 minutes

Listening is a critical competency, whether you are interviewing for your first job or leading a Fortune 500 company. Surprisingly, relatively few working professionals have ever had any formal training in how to listen effectively. In this course, communications experts Tatiana Kolovou and Brenda Bailey-Hughes show how to assess your current listening skills, understand the challenges to effective listening (such as distractions!), and develop behaviors that will allow you to become a better listener—and a better colleague, mentor, and friend.

Learning objectives

• Define attentive listening.
• Explore what happened when you are distracted by delivery.
• Recall what a mental filter is and how it can affect assumptions.
• Explore methods for choosing the best paraphrasing response in the situation.
• List the five listening intentions.

 

LinkedIn JEDI Collection Learning Course

Managing Someone Older Than You

Managing someone older can be a challenge if they have a different way of working or communicating. However, with the right leadership, generational differences can be overcome—or even transformed into benefits for your organization. This course explains how to build more effective communication and collaboration with older workers and build a harmonious and efficient multigenerational team. Instructor and career coach John Tarnoff explains how to onboard an older worker and help established employees become more engaged and more collaborative. He also explains how to overcome age bias (both towards and from older workers) and motivate older workers to be their best, sharing the wisdom that their years of experience can provide to enrich your team.

All employees can utilize LinkedIn Learning: SLCC Learn or https://lnkd.in/gE9RCNW.

Skills for Inclusive Conversations

Organizations reap the benefits of diversity—when employees bring their whole, authentic selves to work. Diverse teams are more productive, innovative, and engaged. Authenticity at work includes sharing and speaking up about work and life experiences that may be different based on one’s identity. Developing the skills to conduct meaningful conversations on potentially polarizing topics such as race, religion, and gender is critical for human resources professionals, managers, and team leaders. Mary-Frances Winters offers a multistep process for building the skills necessary to engage in inclusive conversations. Find out how to conduct an exploratory self-assessment to better understand yourself and your team, learn tactics to go from polarization to common ground, and discover practical techniques for discussing difficult topics.

All employees can utilize LinkedIn Learning: SLCC Learn or https://lnkd.in/gE9RCNW.
