In this episode of How to Strive, Nick explores the third step in Neil Mullarkey’s Seven Steps to Improve Your People Skills, Listen.
Neil reminds us that hearing is automatic, but listening is a skill, one that requires attention, presence, and empathy. We look at the difference between hearing and truly listening, how to tune into both content and emotion, and why giving someone your full attention is one of the greatest gifts you can offer.
Hearing + Attention = Listening.
Drawing on insights from improv, neuroscience, and leadership, this episode helps you shift from waiting to speak to listening to understand.
