We live in a culture of schedules. We schedule nearly everything we do, but do we carve out time to listen? Today, I talk about why you should.

In this episode, I talk about why most of your problems can be solved by listening. I offer statistics that illustrate the value of listening and explain why it’s the secret to success. I offer a personal story of how a leader who listened made a big difference in my life. I discuss what it actually means to listen and why it involves staying attuned to both verbal and nonverbal cues. I note that you should get rid of distractions and interruptions when you’re listening to someone, and I tell you where you can go to continue the conversation on listening.
