(eBook - $5, Audio Book - $20, Paperback - $29)
We are living in a world obsessed with speaking and being heard.
Our screens are full of talking heads promoting their views, while across a range of social media, countless others share their opinions in capital letters, hoping to be heard. Nobody agrees with anybody, and hardly anyone is listening.
There is a power that comes from cultivating a different way of listening. One that takes the focus off trying to get other people to listen, and instead gives you simple tools that will:
​
• improve the quality of your working relationships;
• increase your efficiency and effectiveness in getting things done;
• increase your reputation for delivering exceptional results;
• build trust in your personal and professional life; and
• help you to thrive in an increasingly uncertain world.
​
Inside this new way of listening, things on your to-do list still get done but without the frustration, delays, and waste of your physical and emotional energy.
At the heart of Listening Differently are four tools that will help you successfully navigate the complexities of your personal and professional life:
​
1. A Map, to figure out where you want to go and how to get there,
2. A Compass, to guide you through the inevitable ups and downs,
3. A Script, to listen differently to the conversations you have along the way, and
4. The four Bridges you need to cross to build (or re-build) trust.
​
If you are struggling to find your way to where you want to be, then it is time you started Listening Differently!
