Tuning In: The Power of Listening

In this podcast, Arleen shares the power and importance of deep listening and how it relates to healing of your heart and healing others. In a world that is full of distractions, as healthcare workers, our ability to listen to ourselves and what is going on inside of us or those patients we serve is critical. Listening is a core skill for healthcare workers especially since we are moving at such a high-speed in providing care delivery. Arleen challenges you to think about how the ability to listen affects healing of your patients and yourself.  Arleen reminds us as caregivers we need to create a sacred space for listening to occur. If you are rushing by the opportunities you will miss the mark. It takes discipline and practice and you must be willing to improve your own listening skills. Being present, slowing things down, listening and connecting with people is part of healing. Learn simple strategies to create natural pauses so that you can listen to what is happening around you at work and home and allow healing to occur.
