[This episode supports the work I do as an adjunct professor for the University of Missouri-Kansas City Master of Science in Anesthesia program where I teach a 5-part course titled "Understanding Substance Use Disorder in Our Profession".]

In this episode I briefly share what I am up to at the moment and then I break down deep listening and its ability to create connection. Deep listening is a skill that can be developed and used to strengthen our profession as a whole and our connections on an individual level. 

Deep Listening has 3 components.
1. Hold Space
2. Hold Still
3. Hold Up
