Loud and Clear: Listening Well in a Noisy World
Time: Thursday 19th November 10:05-10:35
Track: Non-technical
Nobody teaches us how to listen, and in a world of constant noise and distractions, it’s harder than ever. This talk explores the everyday habits that get in the way of really hearing each other and covers relatable scenarios - from the well-intentioned advice nobody asked for, to the meeting where the same question is asked twice. Expect some uncomfortable recognition but also some practical takeaways you can use in your next conversation.
