Leaders who can articulate their thoughts grab attention. Leaders who can articulate their hearts create impact and connect hearts. Both of which are much needed in today’s world. Building that skill is not about talking - the real secret is the effort those powerful leaders put into listening. 

Listening to what’s being said behind someone’s words. 

So often, people seem to ramble about nothing for hours. As a society that idealizes the intellect, we live from the head up. We've disconnected from the (literal) brain cells that exist in our hearts and gut. We're so busy up in our heads trying to figure everything out we can’t help but ramble.

So, as a leader, how do you get to the crux? How do you sort through it all and find the nuggets?

This is a subject close to Maren and Stephanie’s hearts and they have a blast unpacking it together. Be sure to listen to the second half where they give 3 distinct skills that will help you further your own impact!
