Dr. William R. Miller will present the workshop “Listening Well: The Art of Empathic Understanding,” from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 13 at the University of Hawaii at Hilo, in Campus Center Room 301.
“The interpersonal skill of empathy is a learnable way to communicate and is widely applicable in our everyday lives,” says Miller. “It is well-specified, real, and reliable.”
This workshop will teach and provide opportunities to practice understanding using a “tell-show-try” approach.
