Coaching for Leaders

1: Introduction to Powerful Listening

Listen Later

Welcome to the first episode of Coaching for Leaders. Why I’m starting this show:

  • A bit of background about me
  • How my doctoral dissertation got me thinking about the importance for leaders to focus on themselves
  • One thing I’ve learned for sure: leaders can make a big difference in the lives of others if they take a little time to make a difference in themselves
  • Why I care about this
  • Lots of resources coming – articles/blogs/Q&A/guests/authors/books/my own perspective

    • Powerful Listening

    • Audio exercise – part 1
    • What did you hear? It sounds a lot like a lot of our work lives.
    • Audio exercise – part 2

      • Four Listening Levels:

      • Pretend
      • Partial
      • Present
      • Powerful

        • You can’t listen powerfully all the time – but you need to at least some of the time.

        Good listening is important work for a leader…just an important (if not more so) than “normal work”
