TOPIC: Why Good Communicators Still Get Misunderstood
WHEN: Wednesday, May 13, 2026 – 3:00PM-4:00PM CST
Hosted By: Michell Stockmann
We don’t have a communication problem—we have a listening problem. In fast-moving environments, we focus on what to say, but rarely how it’s received. This session introduces Listening Intelligence, a science-backed framework that explains why messages miss—and how better listening leads to stronger connection and more effective conversations.
Objectives-
1. Identify the four primary listening habits and their impact on how messages are received.
2. Recognize how differences in listening contribute to misunderstandings and missed connections.
