The world needs more leaders who know how to listen deeply.
Listening is one of the most important leadership skills of all. And yet most of us are are not taught how to listen.
Nodding, good eye contact and “yes…that’s a great point…” whilst useful, does not necessarily = listening.
Listening well is an inside job. How we manage our own thoughts, feelings, assumptions and opinions as we listen.
The outer bit of listening is straightforward and is what you'll see most people doing. The inner bit is not, and people who do it well are rare.
And yet it’s the inner bit that has the impact. We know deep down when we have been listened to by someone, and when we haven’t.
Learning to listen well takes practice, self-awareness and commitment. It also has people want to be led by you. If you’ve been led by someone who listens well, you’ll know exactly what I mean. It’s likely you’ve felt seen, acknowledged and valued.
I want to support people listen more deeply to one another. In their work and lives beyond. I see that people are longing to be listened to. It is a key leadership skill and can transform all our relationships.
Which is why I am offering this session…
What you’ll get from this 90-minute workshop:
You’ll learn a simple yet powerful three-part model to help you listen more deeply and effectively in all your (working) relationships.
I will guide you to consider what this may mean for your own leadership journey. You’ll have the chance to explore this through individual reflection and in small group skills practice sessions with the other like-minded leaders.
You’ll walk away empowered to create more authentic, productive and collaborative relationships in your working life and beyond.
I am offering this session at no charge. It is open to all leaders and aspiring leaders.
I’m limiting the number of seats to create an in-person feel, so all I ask is that if you book a place, you show up. If you’d like to come but the date doesn’t work, you can opt to receive my email updates here and be notified of future dates for this and other events.

p.s. This is not a one of those ‘free events’ where very little useful information is shared, and when you get there you realise it’s a mainly a sales pitch. My intention is to facilitate an enjoyable, thought-provoking session that will empower you as you walk away.
Towards the end of the workshop, for no more than 5 minutes, I will let you know about my current offerings.
