Why "Bluenote"?
In jazz and blues, a blue note is a note that—for expressive purposes—is sung or played at a slightly different pitch from standard. It adds a unique colour and flavour to a song, similar to an individual's unique personality or experience
Workshop - Listening Beyond Words
Target group: Talents & Leaders who want to strengthen their ability to listen and connect with others
Group size: Group of 8-12, closed (within organisations), or open group
Duration: 1/2 - 1 full day
Location: Ideally offsite
In the symphony of life, the quiet strength of listening and the power of pause often slip by unnoticed. This exploration uncovers the depth of these seemingly simple yet profoundly impactful elements – listening and pause – and their role in personal reflection, social bonds, and systemic change.
Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we speak.
Despite Epictetus’ renowned words our world is fraught with noise and frequent misunderstandings. A vast majority admit to being told, “you do not listen”, yet few confess to being poor listeners. While rarely a focus in leadership training, listening is a fundamental skill in the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) framework, considered a prerequisite for other skills.
The workshop will be interactive and engaging, placing participants at the center of activities without relying on theory or PowerPoint presentations. We’ll explore storytelling, metaphors, painting, drawing, and the impact of music. The sessions will include both small group discussions and interactions within the larger, comprehensive group.
During and after this workshop, participants will:
- actively explore the Art of Listening.
- experience how “conscious pausing increases the quality to act from a more conscious state of being”
- be able to respond, instead of reacting, in their future interactions
- increase their self-awareness to improve their communication skills
- be able to maximize the impact of their presence during their communication exchanges
