The CPR of Life

The Power of Deep Listening

Listen Later

In this episode I chat with Declan Stout, a caring human being with a big heart who is on a journey to transform many lives. We are talking about something near and dear to my heart - deep listening. 

Declan is the heart and soul behind Listen With Love - a beautiful space for people to donate their time to listen, and on the flip side, a free space for people to be listened to. 

 

In this episode we talk about:

  • Deep listening: what it is and why it’s so powerful;
  • How to listen deeply;
  • The power of being present in a conversation; and
  • The innate wisdom within every human being.  

    • Here are a few thought bomb takeaways:

    • Deep listening is an incredibly powerful thing. It is not about listening to respond, affirm, negate it is about being fully present. 
  • What makes deep listening so impactful is the connection and showing up as an empty vessel;
  • There is power in the pause when we don’t respond right after someone has finished speaking, we are giving them the space to find their own wisdom; and
  • Wisdom comes from both sides in a conversation. Let your wisdom guide you either as a speaker and a listener; 

    •  

    Until next time: Be well. Be inspired. Be You.
