Why being a great listener can make all the difference

WARWICK DAVIS, who is best known for his roles in Star Wars and Harry Potter, is a proud Scout Ambassador who is looking for ways to help young people in Warrington develop skills they need to succeed.

Today, according to new YouGov research, 86% of UK adults who had a view said we don’t listen to each other enough in UK society. That needs to change.

Warwick said: ‘’In my profession, on the set of a Hollywood movie, if actors don’t listen to each other, the scene doesn’t work. The same applies in real life – it’s about taking the time to understand different points of view and showing respect. Good listening is vital at both home and at work. Some 94% of those with a view believe active listening is important in creating a productive work environment.

The good news is that the Scouts in Warrington are leading the way in this area. Over 90% of UK adults say that the Scouts are helping young people to develop this important skill by working together with different kinds of people in small teams.’’

When young people learn listening skills, it encourages them to develop empathy and understand more about the needs of others. So whether you’re an adult looking for a great volunteering opportunity this year, or a young person looking to develop your skills, then visit www.scouts.org.uk to find out how to get involved.
