The Overlooked Skill That Transforms Communication: Listening
When we think of communication, most of us immediately focus on speaking—how to sound confident, how to choose the right words, how to persuade. But as one of our participants, Nna, discovered, true communication goes far deeper.
“Yeah, you can communicate, but I found out that listening is so, so important. Listening first to know that the listener understands what you’re saying. Listening also to get feedback—and even to hear yourself.”
For Nna, the Public Speaking Simplified Workshop revealed something she hadn’t considered before: listening to herself as she spoke. By becoming more conscious of her own voice, pronunciation, and clarity, she realized she could instantly improve how her message was received.
“Before this class, I never thought about listening to myself as I spoke. But once I did, I could pronounce words more clearly and ensure I was understood. It’s not just about speaking—it’s about listening and making sure people really hear you.”
This shift gave her a new level of confidence, both in professional and social interactions. What stood out most was the value of the program itself:
“At the end of the day, you can be assured you’re getting far more value than what you spend. It’s worth it, especially if you want to work in a Canadian environment. These skills are essential.”
Why Listening Matters in Canada’s Workplace
For newcomers, the Canadian workplace often demands a balance of clarity, confidence, and cultural nuance. While English fluency is important, what makes the difference is how well you connect, adapt, and build trust. That means being intentional—not just with the words you speak, but with how you listen, process, and respond.
The Effective Communication and Public Speaking Simplified workshops are designed with this in mind: to help participants be heard, be understood, and be confident.
