Deep Listening - Impact beyond words - Oscar Trimboli
The world is a noisy place where you fight to be heard every day. Despite the fact that we have been taught at home and at school how to speak, none of us has had any training in how to listen. Multiple academic studies have shown that between 50% and 55% of your working day is spent listening, yet only 2% of people have been trained in how to listen.
We feel frustrated, isolated and confused because we aren't heard.
As a speaker, it takes absolutely no training to notice when someone isn't listening - they're distracted, they interrupt or drift away as you talk.
Yet the opposite is also true, without any training in how to listen we struggle to stay connected with the speaker and the discussion.
This results in unproductive workplaces where people fight to be heard and need to repeat themselves constantly, send emails to confirm what they said and then have follow-up meetings to ensure what was said was actually heard by those in the meeting. It's a downward spiral that drains energy from every conversation and reduces the productivity of organisations.
This podcast is about creating practical tips and techniques to improve your daily listening.

Hidden Secrets of how to Listen for non-verbals with Michael Grinder
Michael Grinder has over 40 years of experience training thousands of groups. Known as the pioneer of nonverbal communication, Michael helps executives and educators assess people more accurately and connect with others more deeply. Two well-known experts personally trained Michael in the field of communication: Carl Rogers, the father of humanistic psychology, and Michael’s brother, Dr. John Grinder, co-founder of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.

It outlines Four distinct patterns – visual, auditory, kinaesthetic and breathing. Together with explore these patterns of expression in and storing information. We cover the role of subjects and objects in discussions through the lens of points of focus. Michael and I start off discussing the ways people process and store communications.

How to listen when you disagree
Juliana Tafur is an award-winning trilingual filmmaker, producer and director. She owns Orkidea Films and Story Powerhouse, which are devoted to the development and execution of compelling TV and film projects, including LIST(e)N - a feature length documentary which highlights our common humanity amidst the growing polarization in the U.S.A During this discussion Juliana and I explore that listening is the willingness to have your mind changed. Juliana’s 90 minute documentary Listen, where two people with different perspectives on abortion, guns and immigration are brought together to listen to each other. Listen carefully as Juliana describes in very careful and thoughtful detail how people show up when they are willing to listen and when they are not. Do you think you interrupt a lot when you listen, most people don’t think they interrupt – yet speakers say it’s the most frustrating thing about listeners – listen carefully when Juliana describes what interrupting shows up in listening. Finally, great listening environments can be defined – Juliana skilfully and elegantly creates an environment where people can be open to listening Listen for Free
