Listening – all of us know it’s important and all of us don’t do it well. Between multi-tasking, meeting team needs along with manager expectations and preparing your message let along doing the day-job, we don’t feel we have time to listen. However, have you ever thought about what you lose by not listening properly? If you trying to improve engagement, influence or emotional intelligence, then listening becomes more mandatory than you may have appreciated. How do you know you are listening well enough? That’s the topic for today – when does listening really matter and how can you get better at it.

💡 About the show:
There is no growth in comfort and no comfort in growth. Business today typically values and promotes leaders for their subject expertise. Leaders who have command of the details and execute based on knowledge and experience are highly respected. However, to grow as a leader you have to get out of your comfort zone – that means learning to lead without just being the expert. Learn to gain the trust and respect of a team that might know more than you do. Get comfortable with ambiguity and with not having all the information. Develop the skills and confidence to lead in a different way.

For female leaders, subject expertise is usually the source of their confidence. Learning to lead outside your comfort zone is one step for breaking through the glass ceiling. The show’s purpose is to give you tips on how can you develop the capability to lead – to get out of your comfort zone.
