Colin D Smith is an executive coach who has become known as the Listener, for his ability to bring out deep and meaningful conversations.

This interview, which is in two parts, addresses what quality listening is about, together with some personal experiences and tips.

Here, in Part 2, I give feedback on my testing it out at home. I have learnt that it takes preparation, patience, letting go my personal agenda and surprisingly, at least for me, serious practice.

Often, understanding comes from lived experiences, rather than just 'thinking about it'. My friend Joerg Kuehn, an executive coach, talks about his experience of the Camino de Santiago, a 500 mile walk in the north of Spain.
