Having the sense of listening is indicative of other qualities such as empathy, kindness and altruism. It is important to know how to put yourself in the place of the person to be trained, to understand their vision of things, their difficulties and their questions. The exchange is one of the keys, in order to take into account the feelings of the learner and to define the objectives together.

Who other than the people to be trained are in the best position to give you relevant comments on the way you design or lead your training actions? These feedbacks will allow to be able to improve the quality of your transmission of knowledge and will make you want to learn alongside you.
4. Have a sense of communication
