Show Notes:

1. Become cognizant of your communication needs and identify the needs of those in your teams

2. Why Effective Listening requires more effort as you get older

3. Learning all the techniques from "experts" is great, but what they don't tell you is how to get consistent with it.

4. Learn more about Lisa's desired superpower in the EP.IC Questionnaire at the end of the pod!

And yes, Lisa calls me out on not actively listening.... kinda.


Enjoy the pod!
