Previous Event: Effective Listening Training With Paul Axtell

Monday, March 22, 1999
7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

Please call for details/R.S.V.P. before attending!

The Cornhusker Hotel

333 S. 13th St.
Lincoln, NE 68508

Have you ever been with someone who listened in a way that made you feel like the whole world had just stopped for this conversation? True listening is a gift. It doesn't happen very often but is actually readily accessible.

If you really started listening and people had a completely different experience of being in conversation with you, to whom might that make a difference? What might happen if the people who were important to you sensed that you were really on their side and available to listen?

This evening will be led by Paul Axtell, a trainer who has worked with parents, teachers, and teenagers, in addition to his work with universities and corporations.

Dessert will be served. Dress is casual!

This is a session for Nebraska Network 21 Members. Please feel free to bring someone along who is important to you. If you can't attend, we'll understand, but we would really love to have you join us.

NN21

Please contact Valerie Egger at vegger@unlinfo.unl.edu or (402) 472-6621 to R.S.V.P. or for more details.

R.S.V.P. is required by March 11, 1999.
