What is The Listening Shed?
We need to be good listeners so people can talk. Talking openly about our concerns, problems and feelings is essential for our mental health, affinity with others and a positive culture. The problem is so many of us don’t listen! The Listening Shed equips individuals in your organisation, team or group to be good listeners for each other.

Testimonials
The Listening Shed has already been delivered to hundreds of people in Men's Sheds and community groups with over 80% reporting they learned something new and three quarters confident to use the tools with others.
Here's what they say:
"We're always talking over each other at morning tea. Now we'll listen!"
"Asking questions involves me more."
"Listening had me learn more about myself."
"I need to stop interrupting!"
"I'm going to sit on my hands around giving advice."
