How do we use deep listening to build feelings of trust and respect?

We can't change anyone.  We can't truly motivate others.  We can accept people as facts.  We can move forward together.  Here are a few simple questions to ask ourselves.

Lets talk about the cognitive biases that keep us from being as curious as we should be.

Before we can dedicate ourselves to the discipline of asking questions and listening to learn we must get very clear about what we bring to the table.  How do we come to conversations?  What frame of mind are we in when we engage with another person?  Take 6 minutes and reflect on what kind of listener you are and/or hope to be.

This is a dense one listeners.  In today's lesson I discuss why whether you are leading in your friendships, family, or at work, it is all about you.  Avoid the toxic tandem.  Stay in tune with those you lead.  Watch out for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.  Take steps to reduce self delusion.  Build resilience!  Learn how the worst and the best leaders are equally self obsessed.  Ask yourself the two key questions that every leader should know the answer to.

We can take ownership of our role in every situation, but we cannot lead everyone.  We cannot force people to change.  In this episode we focus of 4 big challenges to leading others and steps we can take to move forward without sacrificing our relationships.  

Most people claim to be self aware.  But what if self awareness is not something you simply achieve, but something that needs to be continually updated?  How do we practice.  It is through consistent self reflection that we become and remain self aware.  In today's episode we discuss a range of tools that can promote this essential attribute of leadership.

The Second Principle:  We take ownership of our role.  In this lesson we discuss the practice that makes all other leadership practices possible.  How do we begin to become wiser, more solution focused, and better aligned to what we value most?  Hopefully we find some answers in today's lesson.  Be good.

In this episode we explore how our beliefs about the inherent nature of people lead us to become someone who diminishes the potential of others or multiplies the potential of others?  What do you believe about people?

In this episode we discuss the dangers of empathy.  Why burn out is not about the amount of hours you work?  Why did I start sending mindset messages during the pandemic?  The power of the reset.  Why do we need to balance perspective taking and compassion?  The empowering nature of asking questions and listening to learn.  Why it is alright to ask," How can I help?"
