S3E6: Listen Up! Transform your Listening Skills for Workplace Success

Let’s be frank. We can listen better. That can be difficult when we’re genetically coded to be distracted and the world is full of notifications. If we can listen better to current/future clients, colleagues, employees, and bosses – the benefits are business-changing. This episode explains why we get distracted, uncovers bad listening habits, and offers practical solutions. You’ll find out how to have shorter, more effective meetings. You’ll learn what your ‘Listening Villain’ is and how it’s impacting your workplace. You’ll learn about the ‘Five Levels of Listening.’ There’s so much to think about in this episode, you’ll be pausing or listening to it twice.
