Many believe we must talk our way to the top. I find active listening helps us get there far more quickly. And yet few of us know how to listen in deep, transformative ways.

When you lock in and listen, those you want to impress and help feel truly heard. Meetings halve in length. Problems become more quickly resolved and decisions smoothly made.

The best part? You feel less drained, less panicked amidst fiascos, and far more informed. You can self regulate (because active listening grounds you) and discover what others really care and worry about, and empower them 10X more.

Listen Like a Boss brings you my proven process, secrets, and habits I've built as a trusted executive communications coach with Google, the US Air Force, Dell, American Express, and major global finance houses and banks.

Since entering the coaching industry five years ago, I've coached over 1,000 leaders and 9,000 sessions. By listening, probing, and giving space, I've helped leaders resolve stubborn mindsets and tackle tricky issues. Together, we've created tactics boosting their position and confidence, just from becoming clearer and briefer. I can teach you how. It starts with committing to becoming a better listener and listening how you've never listened before.

We've three, 1.5 hour workshops bringing discussion, reflection, tactics, and practice:

Class 1: Learn how most of us typically listen and discuss our blockers to listening better. (The biggest blockers I've heard? Loneliness, anxiety, and fears of falling back, even unworthiness.) Discover my active listening process, and see me demonstrate it live time, with you.

Class 2: Discover three quick and easy frameworks from master coaches and journalists helping you listen deeply, reveal blockers and hopes, and co-creating action steps. Learn my own frameworks and questions with 1-3 word prompts. In an anchored, spacious conversation, "and?" or "because?" prompt and invite so much. Practice and unpack the learnings together.

Class 3: Practice and unpack the learnings together. Learn my best tips for getting comfortable with the pause. Gain more tips and refresh on questions that help receivers unlock and connect.

AMA: Ask me anything (whatever you want) about active listening and air in a trusted space your blockers.

By the end of this course, you will learn to:

-Frame conversations and meetings in the front end so we can listen better and converse less. Simple prompts like: "Do you want me to listen to listen or to solve?" changes your game—and theirs

-Interrupt in service of others. We struggle to focus when people ramble, bury their bottom line, or ignore the question. Create new ways to ask for the specifics and anchoring you need.

-Experience listening through reduced tech distractions and worries. Anchor with me. Go into thorny situations with a different mindset: To understand, listen, and then to help solve.

-Feel less squirmy about silence. Revisit pause as time for you to self regulate. Pause gifts your receiver time to think, reflect, and self empower

-Sense positive emotional shifts. Feel the potency of this often underestimated and misunderstood craft none of us truly master.

You won't get much from this course if you:

-Expect instantly to change a life-time of distracted, partial, or narcissistic listening habits. This workshop brings an excellent kickstart through self awareness, frameworks and tactics, discussion, and practice.

-Think active listening is flimsy and just for coaches. Come ready to feel challenged. Active listening's intensely powerful—for you, and your receiver.

Join the next cohort. Bring your team. You'll change how you listen and gain ideas and tips to put into action with your very next high-stakes meeting and everyday conversations, even with those you love.
