SUMMARY:Leadership Development Course | The Art of Active Listening with Dan Oblinger
DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: NEW LOCATION! JEO OMAHA 11213 Davenport St Suite 200\, Omaha\, NE 68154 \nThis is a course for anyone who wants to enhance their communication abilities and interpersonal relationships and create a supportive and understanding environment for meaningful conversations. \nActive listening is essential for building trust\, empathy\, and rapport. In this course\, speaker Dan Oblinger will emphasize that listening goes beyond merely hearing words\; it involves engaging with a person\, understanding their emotions\, and acknowledging their stories. \nDan Oblinger will outline several techniques for effective active listening\, which include:*Open-Ended Questions: Asking questions that invite detailed responses rather than simple yes or no answers. For example\, instead of asking\, "Did you have a good day?" one might ask\, "What was the best part of your day?"\n*Reflecting and Summarizing: Paraphrasing what a person has said to show understanding and encourage further dialogue. This technique helps clarify any misunderstandings and demonstrates that the listener values the speaker's input. \n*Emotion Labels: Identifying and acknowledging the emotions behind a person's words. This can help in understanding their motivations and building a deeper connection. \n*Minimal Encouragers: Using small verbal cues (like "I see" or "Go on") to encourage a person to continue sharing their thoughts. \n*Cultivating Silence: Allowing pauses in conversation can provide space for reflection and deeper thought\, enhancing the quality of the dialogue.\nPRESENTER:Dan Oblinger is a renowned expert in active listening\, emphasizing its critical role in negotiation\, relationship-building\, and effective communication. Dan is a former hostage negotiator\, author\, and international keynote speaker. He specializes in teaching active listening and negotiation skills\, particularly in high-stakes environments. He has trained thousands of individuals\, including professionals in engineering\, law enforcement\, and corporate settings\, on how to enhance their communication skills through active listening. Dan has been a dynamic speaker for ACEC NE for many years. We are excited to invite him back to Nebraska!DETAILS: Thursday\, October 30\, 2025 | 8AM-12PM | JEO OMAHA 11213 Davenport St Suite 200\, Omaha\, NE Participants receive 4 PDH credits
