What we'll do
THIS IS A WORKSHOP TAKING PLACE AT THE FSA WIRRAL ROADSHOW - YOU MUST HAVE A ROADSHOW TICKET TO ATTEND THIS WORKSHOP! Listening That Changes Everything A skill everybody needs, but is rarely taught. Join Dr Mary Maclachlan and learn how validation and active listening can reduce conflict, support problem-solving, build deeper connections, and boost resilience — in kids and in every relationship. We all think we’re good listeners. And yet, we all know the difference between someone we open up to and someone we avoid. This course teaches a powerful form of listening that helps others process what they’re going through — and arrive at their own best solution. You’ll learn what to say (and what not to say), why common “helpful” responses often backfire, and how to avoid the well-worn habits that shut conversations down. This course blends practical theory, real-life examples, and a few laughs. You’ll walk away not just understanding the skill, but having felt it in action, and be ready to use it.
