Conflict Resolution Center offers workshop, seminar The Conflict Resolution Center presents "The Lost Art of Listening" from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 21. Fine-tune your ability to listen, and increase your effectiveness at work with customers, clients, colleagues and others. This one-day workshop will help you develop stronger listening skills with your family, friends, and clients. Too often we are not fully attentive to those who count on us to give insightful and meaningful responses to important personal and professional issues. Learn why we don't listen attentively, how careful listening has become a necessity in our fast-paced lives, and practice valuable skills that will help you communicate more effectively with others.
