This extended (nearly 3 hours) episode of The Coaching Inn has four sections.  The original discussion from the first podcast that I did with Oscar.  A recording of your responses to what we said - thank you to everyone who sent in reflections An invitation to experiment where Shani and Oscar and I reflect on the responses to the original episode.  An Episode with Kathryn Mannix about listening There are many ways that you can listen to this: you can watch the video or you can listen to the audio or you can do both you can watch and listen in one sitting you can watch and listen to each section, pausing, noticing, reflecting, with one or two days until your next listen to let the learning emerge slowly or you might want to watch or listen together with someone else. That might be somebody at work, it might be someone you work with, it might be another coach, either at the same time or during the same week. Using this technique, you're going to help each other hear and discover something new about listening, something varied and something different.
