Practice active listening and get feedback.

Description of the tool

* In groups of three, one person is the initiator that explains a problem that he or she is facing in work or in life in general.
The active listener, listens, questions and paraphrases – as a coach would do and helps in the problem solving.
It is important to guide the solution coming from the initiator and not imposing your own. The observer watches the process and gives feedback on the active listening and not on the content.

Comment: Confidentiality is a big issue here. Make sure that there is enough trust in the group if personal things are likely to come up.
