Just Listen – A 2-Hour Workshop to Transform How You Connect

Stop listening to reply. Start listening to understand.
An experiential workshop in Amsterdam on authentic relating.
About this Event

4 years ago, my marriage was falling apart.
My wife said: “I feel unsafe with you. Why can’t you just be there for me?”

I couldn’t understand it.
It took me years to realize: I had never truly listened.
I listened to reply, to explain, to defend, to fixbut not to understand.

This workshop grew from that painful lesson.
I don’t want to teach you how to listen.
I want you to experience what happens when we stop trying to reply, advise, or fix… and simply listen to understand.
🙋‍♂️Facilitated by Paolo Umberto Orlandi
