During this workshop I got not only new insights into the different levels & quality of listening but I could also experience & practice them. I got more aware of my subconscious behavioural patterns during listening that I wasn't aware of before. By realising those patterns I can now start improving the quality of any listening and practice deeper listening at work & with my loved ones. I am convinced, that this is going to bring my personal relationships to a higher level.

The Listening Lab workshop resonated with me so well. I have always thought that I was a good listener but I understood how much I have leaning towards asking immediate questions and my mind wandering around. And I realized that although I intuitively listened to my friends and family, at work I just keep getting stuck in my mind and I don't open up to listening. I appreciate the learning and looking forward to apply in different parts of my life. Have to also say that the agenda included different sections which I loved, meditation, presentation and exercises.

The listen deeply workshop was a treat - making time and getting space with others to practice our listening skills helped widen my perception, feel more relaxed in conversations with others & learn a lot about myself. Thank you. I'll incorporate flexing those listening skills regularly - it's like a muscle I realized.

Already in the first week after the workshop, I've noticed that I've become much more aware of how and when I listen to people during conversations. I've began to notice when my mind starts drifting. I've started letting my conversation partners speak 'fully' - without interrupting them with follow up questions, which in turn made the listening experience feel different - more attentive.

The workshop content was so simple but its impact was high.

The founders were really engaged and had lots of great questions - it was clear they really enjoyed the session.

Deep Listening as a Business Skill’ was one of the SCV sessions. For the first round, I was paired with Ayoub Chalabi. Wow. It was hard to just listen and not think. But once I managed, listening to Ayoub’s story was like watching a good movie. Like being on a canoe and letting the stream take me. Really listening was super fun. The exercises after were more geared towards work life and our companies. I had the same experience. It was fun. And I felt like I understood the person I was listening to more. What I also like is how simple “deep listening” is as a phrase. Easy to remember, easy to bring into daily life. It’s been more than a month since Samara’s session, and I still catch myself reminding myself to deep listen whenever I can. If you get the chance, I really recommend joining one of Samara’s workshops on Deep Listening.
