The Power of Deep Listening
Presented by Annette Gray, Director, Annette Gray Consulting
What’s covered?
What difference would it make if Safety leaders and professionals changed the way they
listened?
Did you know that …..
- Most of us have an 8 second attention span (BTW our attention span is 1% lower
than a gold fish!) - 85% of what we learn is from listening
- 75% of the time we are distracted or pre-occupied
- One hour after listening we recall 20% of what we heard
- The average person listens at 25% efficiency

Listening is such an underrated skill. When we are at school we are taught to read and write but not actually how to listen.
In this interactive session you will experience what it is like to truly be listened to and the impact it has on you. Listening as a Safety Leader and Professional is one of the most critical and crucial skills you can demonstrate if you are to do your job well. People will more likely trust you and open up and be vulnerable around what is really happening – particularly around safety.
Come along to this session to practice deep listening and to hear some simple tips on how you can be even better listener to improve your effectiveness in your role and the relationships you have inside and outside of work.
