(Virtual) Western States Project Asking Effective Questions & Listening

Asking Effective Questions & Listening - at the heart of all aspects of our environmental work is the ability to gather information – the right information, accurate information and complete information. This is achieved through asking effective questions and top-notch listening skills. 

There will be multiple breakout sessions which generally cover:

• Identification of specific situations in environmental work where gathering information is required and the problems or obstacles in gathering it
• An exercise in questioning techniques: an example/scenario for group discussion regarding selection and use of specific types of questions
• Listening for results – a fun exercise applying the question & listening principles
