What is the course

What is the Active Listening programme?

A practical, outcome-focused training programme designed to help teams build knowledge, apply tools and improve performance in real work situations.

The Active Listening programme helps participants focus on what others are saying, recognise meaning and emotion, ask useful questions, clarify assumptions and respond in ways that improve understanding and workplace relationships.

Is this right for your team

Is this built for your team?

This course is ideal for many organisations, but may not be the best fit for every situation. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide.

Ideal for teams who:
  • Want to improve listening quality in everyday workplace conversations
  • Are looking for a private, tailored training experience
  • Need relevant, Indonesia-based training delivery
  • Value practical techniques for clearer understanding and better responses
Another course may be better if:
  • You are looking for a public, open-enrolment course
  • You need a highly technical or specialist certification
  • Your team is not yet ready for this level of training
  • You are primarily looking for consultancy rather than training
