SUMMARY:The Listening Trap: Why We Stop Hearing
DESCRIPTION:October 29\, 2026 | Most of us believe we're good listeners. 
 Yet when someone brings us a problem\, we often jump to judging\, advisi
 ng\, quizzing or placating before we've truly understood what they mean.
  In this interactive session\, Associate Professor Helen Meldrum will ex
 plore the common listening habits that can unintentionally shut down con
 versations and instead shirt towards: Active Reflective Listening. Wheth
 er you're leading a team\, managing clients\, collaborating with colleag
 ues\, or navigating difficult conversations\, stronger listening can imp
 rove trust\, reduce misunderstandings\, and help others feel genuinely h
 eard. You'll learn how to recognize the listening traps we all fall into
 \, practice active reflective listening techniques\, and have more produ
 ctive conversations at work and beyond.\n\nTickets: https://events.bentl
