The Power Of Listening

Posted on: September 29, 2024

The-Power-of-Listening-1

Each year, a small group of people undertake the task of keeping an online conference together for the entire month of October. Judy Kuster started the first online ISAD conference in 1998 and kept it running through 2012. From 2013 onward, different people devote their time to keep the conference alive and vibrant.

This year’s theme is something we haven’t tackled yet – listening. Listening is 90% of effective communication, yet for many people who stutter, we’ve been poor listeners.  We’ve often spent too much head space thinking of what words we could say without stuttering and then we’d lose the gist of the conversation. Has that ever happened to you?

Check out the contributions to this years conference and see what many people think about listening.
