Incident Investigation -- Tips, Techniques & Trivia    

I'm in Riderville (Regina) this week doing some training for a government agency.

I'm and "born and raised" Saskatchewan boy, and no doubt there will be some conversation during the breaks about the Grey Cup.

I'm beginning to understand how Toronto Maple Leaf fans feel.

Go Riders 2011!!

Being a Good Listener


The question I'm most often asked in the classroom is "what questions should I be asking my witnesses?" So while asking the right questions is important, perhaps more critical is learning how to listen. Here are a few things to consider:

Don't Interrupt

It's hard to listen when you are thinking of your next couple of questions. Interruptions derail a person's train of thought as well as his spontaneity and the interview rhythm may be lost forever. There's a lot to be learned by allowing a witness to ramble and vent. When we listen to children or the elderly, we are usually quite patient and let them express their thoughts without interruption. Model this behaviour when interviewing.
