Hi, I'm Andrew
So why am I providing free access?
The Corona virus pandemic has changed the way we work.
Life is no longer the same...
...in our current work situations
Maybe you're working remotely these days and no longer communicating face-to-face. Maybe you're an essential worker and your decisions affect people's lives. Or maybe you've been laid off and navigating the social welfare system.
Regardless of the situation, listening skills are even more vital than they were a few short weeks ago.
For example, what's the cost of not adequately understanding job requests on those video calls from your boss and upline? How about misinterpreting information from your work colleagues, employees, or contractors?
Or how about the cost of not being able to truly appreciate your clients' or medical patients' needs?
...in our family & social life
Being locked in the same house with the same people for weeks on end is bound to create some tension.
Then compound that tension with poor communication.
Imagine the toll on relationships with your family - your spouse, son or daughter, siblings or parents - if you regularly failed to focus on what they’re saying or got the wrong end of the stick. And you're stuck in the same house together.
And how much would friendships suffer if you always talked about yourself and neglected taking time to genuinely listen to your mates every time you video called them?
This is why I'm giving free access...
I believe that
the practical active listening skills taught in this PLS Course
will help you avoid those costly misunderstandings,
relieve some of the COVID-19 tension in your daily work and personal life
&
even enable you to have some brilliant and
enjoyable conversations during this difficult time.
I want you and others to have free access to these vital listening skills as my contribution to the COVID-19 Coronavirus effort.

5 Big PLS Course Benefits
Perspective-Taking
The PLS Course gives you the essential skills needed to understand every discussion topic from the speaker’s perspective. That is, the skills of clarifying, drawing out more information, and uncovering the speaker’s attitude towards the topic.
More Open-Minded
The PLS Course will make you more aware of your own biases and filters, which are limiting your ability to listen well.
Listening Will Be Second Nature
Habit-forming exercises will increase your ability to automatically recognise and respond to opportunities to listen actively.
Conversational Influence
‘Listening first to understand the speaker’ will become your default position – a position of greater influence than doing most of the talking. You’ll be able to think through what you’re hearing, making your replies more deliberate and robust.
Connection & Trust
People trust and connect more deeply with people who genuinely listen to them. The course 'Practical Listening Skills for Daily Life' will enable you to foster this deeper connection and trust.

Here’s What You’ll Get When You Enrol
Immediate Access to the Entire PLS Course
You’ll get free and immediate access to all 14 lessons of the 'Practical Listening Skills (PLS) for Daily Life' course.
Each lesson introduces you to another aspect of the Active Listening 5-Step process using descriptions, examples and practical strategies.
Furthermore, every lesson ends with a challenge. Use them to practise the concepts you’ve just learnt before moving onto the next lesson. They are designed around well-recognised habit-forming techniques.
The lessons each take about 5-9 minutes to read, plus time for each challenge.
By the end of the course you’ll have started incorporating every part of the Active Listening process into your discussions.
The GLS Email
As part of the course enrolment, you will also be subscribed to The GLS Email. This email will help you along your listening journey even after finishing the course.
The email contains listening techniques & strategies, think pieces on being a better listener, notifications when I post new blog articles, and information about various paid and free resources that I believe will be helpful to your listening skills.
You’ll recognise it by the “(GLS)” in the subject line.
The frequency of the GLS Email varies depending on what’s happening with The GLS Project. Currently, it's on hold. But I typically send an email every 1 to 4 weeks.

Want to Support this Listening Skills Initiative?
There are two things that you can do
Get the word out. Please tell others about this free offer to improve their listening skills and relationships during COVID-19.
Would you like to make a one-off contribution of any amount towards the costs of running this course and The GLS Project? If you do, then please click the Donate button below.
Note
Please DO NOT feel pressured to give. You are most welcome to enjoy free access without contributing. My whole goal of the free access is to help people get through this awful time.
Please Note
The GLS Project is not a charity and relies on crowd funding.
So sadly, your donation won’t be eligible for tax rebates. Very sorry!
My reason for inviting you to support this initiative is because, to date, I have offered free access to this course as part of The GLS Project. And I really want to continue offering free access in order to help people during this awful COVID-19 pandemic.
I genuinely hope that providing free access will provide some skills to help ease the tensions created by being in lockdown with the same people for long periods.
However, before COVID-19 appeared I had planned to make this a paid course.
It does need to pay it's way because I do incur ongoing expenses in order to make this course available. These include website hosting, domain name registration, software licenses and other office expenses. I also spend many hours creating useful GLS content.
So, contributions will help me to recoup some of these costs and keep the access free during COVID-19.
If you would like to contribute, then thank you so much!
If you’d prefer not to give, then still please make the most of this course completely guilt free. May it change your life!
Either way, thank you for your support, both monetary and otherwise.
You are all amazing!
