Meet your Teacher

Liz Scott has been a listener for her whole career. She started as a BBC reporter and traveled around the county of Devon interviewing people for the radio. Then 20 years ago (whilst still a radio reporter) she trained as a counselor and was deeply struck by the power of listening. She continued this listening journey, training as a coach and setting up a coaching business. Liz is inspired to support people who experience anxiety and worry and so she set up a Not-For-Profit in 2020, sharing Wellbeing Listening at a grassroots level in her community. Her inspiration is for people to feel a sense of belonging and to feel heard.

Lesson 1

Creating Clarity Through Listening

Listening is like a superpower, it helps people access wisdom and come up with sustainable solutions. In this first lesson, you’ll see how listening facilitates someone to come up with their answers. When you listen it enables someone to have fresh ideas and when someone comes up with their solution to an issue, then this solution is likely to stick.

Lesson 2

The Impact Of Not Listening

Today we explore the 'snow globe effect' of not listening. What happens when you stop listening to someone? If you stop listening it is like shaking up a snow globe in their minds. Not listening can create confusion in the minds of others.

Lesson 3

The Perils Of Giving Advice And Solutions

When people have an unsettled mind they don't want advice, solutions, or sympathy. 99% of the time people want to be heard. Giving unwanted advice and solutions is like shaking up the snow globe of their mind, it makes things worse rather than better.

Lesson 4

The Dangers Of Listening Tips, Tools And Techniques

Have you ever been on the receiving end of someone who is going through the motions of listening but not actually listening?

Lesson 5

Listening For Wellbeing

There is a misperception about well-being in our culture. Many people see that well-being is something you add to your life. There is an idea that well-being is something you work on after getting through your 'to-do' list. In this lesson, you'll start to see that well-being is something to remember and recognize in yourself, it is ever-present. Wellbeing isn't a destination to get to or a goal to achieve.

Lesson 6

The Noise Of Thought

It's really helpful to understand that at the core and essence of every human being is resilience and well-being. However, a common question is: 'If well-being is built-in into my psychological system, then why do I often feel so rubbish?' In today's session, we show how thoughts, moods, and beliefs are like weather systems that cloud over the sunshine of well-being. Unsettled thinking can cloud our well-being but it never damages our wellbeing.

Lesson 7

Wellbeing Listening In Action

Wellbeing Listening is simple, ordinary and everyday. When you listen to someone and you remember all we've explored in this course, then you'll have beautiful, connected interactions with others. Today we show how listening is about presence. When we listen without giving advice, solutions or sympathy, then we are best able to be present as we listen to others.

I love this course. Although I think I generally am a compassionate listener the course has opened up my mind to a much more consistent approach to listening and I believe it will have better outcomes for the people I listen to and for me. It also reminded me of occasions when someone has really listened to me and how that felt. Thank you Lizfor your clarity 🙏🏼

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from this Course, but “Listening” was the hook for me. As someone who loves being a listening ear, I was excited to hear what wisdom this Class might have to offer. I am SO glad that I chose to listen (I did it in one fell swoop as I worked. 😊) My understanding of how to be a good listener was GREATLY increased❣️ Thank you for this wonderful Class. 🙏🏻 I will most definitely revisit it in the near future! Blessings ~ 💕
