An old philosopher once said: "One mouth, two ears," meaning (we think) that we should listen at least twice as much as we speak. It seems so easy to do and yet it can be oh so difficult.

To help in this never ending battle, JWA/Video has produced Succeed By Listening with listening expert Madelyn Burley-Allen.

In this DVD program you'll discover the basic principles and techniques needed to become an active listener and better communicator in both your business and personal life. You'll learn to handle the tough situations by really understanding what has been said. You'll have the confidence needed to solve the difficult problems and react without misunderstanding.

We have all been involved in the "he said, she said" world of communicating. He said this, no she said that, and no one is really sure what anyone said. This DVD helps you overcome the listening/language barriers that cause these problems.

Persuasion is also a part of listening and you will learn how to become even more persuasive just by listening correctly. You'll develop the skills necessary to become a level one listener (the best!) and an understanding communicator.

This how-to training program comes with a DVD, CD audio CD and the book, Listening, The Forgotten Skill.
